Maybe stop using that shit. Coding yourself is actually better. Better for everyone, mainly the planet.
This has nothing to do with personal consumption. Consumer politics are not going to do anything about AI
Any use of this requires huge amounts of energy & cooling
On the contrary, if consumer uptake is too shallow, their big gamble on AI comes crashing down. While the fallout of THAT catastrophe will not be gentle, it’ll be a whole lot less catastrophic than the alternative. I will continue to avoid using AI as much as I am legally able, which right now is a lot, and steering any company that I consult with that demands AI into losing massive amounts of money on bad AI decisions. “It’s not me, the AI is quirky like that. Sorry, but I did warn you it was unreliable.” Let it burn. Let it all burn.
