If AI uses fossil fuels, it's a disaster for the environment, but it doesn't have to use fossil fuels.

and yet they do

They've been spending more then revenue, but revenue is growing, this is normal for new techs.

i'd say it has been normalised, but in the famous cases of amazon and uber, they needed to destroy a "traditional" industry first (aka disrupt), but for chatbots, they need to invent the market first

Reliability depends on expectations.

also, usage depends on reliability. what's the point of using a tool that's wrong 10% of the times? you have to check every answer. it doesn't matter as much in a casual environment, but that's not a 10% of the gdp kind of industry

My point here is that from what I see, AI will keep growing,

as long as some people are willing to invest billions to keep the bubble growing, but when someone big enough pulls out, it will collapse

but hopefully slowly enough so people can keep up.

holy condescension batman
i'm sorry, i didn't realise i'm talking to a prompt engineer

I mean, I wouldn't rely on expecting a crash.

well i wouldn't rely on not expecting one
also, piss off, nobody wants a crash, we will pay for it, after they bail their idiot friends out
