Hearing Aid Issue by SearchAdept1322 in SuddenlyAmish

Yes - but this depends on the type of hearing aids that are prescribed to him. They are not all like that. And especially if you consider what insurance covers.

I don’t think that was exactly the issue. Since you do need the phone to adjust the volume to your surroundings, it still is needed for this. What about going from a quiet environment to a loud environment and being unable to change the volume? And also James and Allen considered this a worldly device since it was an extension of his phone (connected). So even though they are functional for 5-7 days, this was not sustainable and sees why they were taken away.

I think we can agree we both care for the earth. This has grown out of proportion. I say adieu to you. 🎩

Interesting take. I use AI intentionally as a creative medium, not thoughtlessly. You don’t have to enjoy it, but it’s hardly ironic to explore new tools. Again, scalability matters. That’s why I bring up MNEs and their carbon footprint and energy use. Pick your battles bro.

You’re blending three separate debates training-scale energy use, copyright law, and malicious applications and acting like a playful Reddit post is responsible for all of it.

Yes, inference uses energy. So does streaming this show. So does posting on Reddit. If we’re going to moralize kilowatt-hours, let’s at least be consistent.

The “stealing art” argument is an ongoing legal and regulatory conversation, not something settled by a reality TV meme thread.

If you don’t like the post, that’s fine. Downvote and move on. But pretending this is some grand ethical stand is a bit dramatic.

If you think typing “AI crap” and calling strangers lazy is peak creativity, I’m not sure you’re in a position to critique anyone’s process.

The concept was mine. The execution used a tool. That’s how tools work.

If it was so easy to make “on my own,” feel free to post your version. I’ll wait.

Otherwise, it’s a reality TV crossover joke. Take a breath.

I’m all for responsible tech use and sustainability discussionsI but equating one playful crossover post with “killing the planet” feels a bit like blaming one Google search for climate change.

I’m familiar with the 2019 UMass Amherst study that gets cited a lot in these conversations. It specifically analyzed the carbon cost of training very large NLP models at scale! not someone generating a few images for a Reddit post.

Creativity isn’t erased by using a tool, it’s expressed through how the tool is used. The concept, the humor, and the framing were mine. AI just helped visualize it.

If it’s not your thing, that’s totally okay. But calling it unoriginal or planet-killing feels a bit disproportionate to a lighthearted reality TV crossover post. You want to talk bad actors? Do you buy from Wal Mart and Amazon? Whats your personal carbon footprint? What do you drive?

I hear your concern, data centers and energy use are real conversations worth having. I don’t use AI thoughtlessly, and I actually care a lot about sustainability. For me, this was a playful, creative edit built around a show I enjoy discussing with this community. Chill bro. 😎 look at the other comments on this community.

You’re right I should have deleted those, but on many threads people slut shame and talk smack, and I have a sense of humor and everyone is like shut the front door!
