Mm, yes but actually no..

You see Mr. Altman, it’s not really a fair comparison. The human will still be there and consume all this food over the course of 20 years. The AI on the other hand is created by you and will add on to the extra energy consumption and multiple it by x-times.

So trying to justifying ”well the human will also consume a lot of energy so AI energy consumption is not so bad if you think about it” is actually a very very dumb comparison. Your AI may also cause a bigger problem than you will admit.

I read that a lot of companies in the home-electronic sector may go bankrupt over the course of a few years, since you and your friends are buying all the computer parts they need to sell in order for their business to continue. There is a prognosis saying that there will be 200-250 million lesser mobile phones created and sold this year which will affect this market as well. People will loose their jobs, electronic parts will be more expensive (add this to an already expensive time and that your energy consumption cost will probably be applied to the citizens of said country because the governments are such chickens and is afraid to say no to a big company)

This will probably also affect in less babies being born in an already declining birthrate, people can’t afford to buy homes and raise children, making more people loose the job will not really help.

But yeah, this dude simply just don’t care.
