I’ll skip discussions about my persona. But most certainly golf courses or video games have orders of magnitude lower impact on electricity and watee than worldwide LLMs (mostly in datacenters).
Doubtful. The task of running an LLM and playing a video game is the same, so it just comes down to which has more customers. A lot of people spend many hours playing video games. There might be more LLM users, but they use the LLM for a few seconds a day, as opposed to an hour or more.
That being said, they’re both non-issues compared to beef production, which involves torturing cows. This activism should be directed there, then you can move down the target list once factory farming is outlawed.
So, if one was to check your post history, they would find complaints about the energy usage of video games? The water usage of golf courses?
Or would we find neither, and learn instead that anti-AI is the only bandwagon you’ve hopped on because it is the most popular?

You would be mistaken.
Data Centers use about 0.06% of the USAs total Water per year.
Watering golf courses in total uses about 0.5 percent.
My personal hardware that hosts my AI uses zero water. It uses more electricity when running a game.
There are more video gamers than there are users of AI.
Your persona is indeed just jumping on the popular bandwagon.
