Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel. (archive.is)

I checked. The IEA says airlines generate about a gigaton of CO2, and it's still growing since the dip of covid, which is perhaps where your infographic authors got their screwy figures, which are, like I suggested, the wrong order of magnitude.

    Like I said, the IEA. The International Energy Agency. I wonder if you've heard of them.

    You can throw scepticism as much as you like, dude, but
    (1) I did not lie and
    (2) your website is unreliable. Give it up.

    Again. LLMs are crap, they spout falsehoods all the time, they use unreasonably large amounts of data, but the airline industry pollutes a LOT more.

    I begin to wonder whether your website was itself written by an LLM.
