@damngoodtech@mastodon.social the post was not related to dangers of AI. The post is related to people saying they don't use AI and never will because data centers and natural resources consumptions etc. Bitch please lol AI goes back very far.... People have just been introduced to it within the context of 5 to 6 years now with what they know as ChatBOT's. But it's been built into so many other things...
Smartphone
Routers
Hubs
Fridges
Stove
microwave
Kettles
Smart speaker
Security cameras
Alexa
Google Home
Siri and all their home tech
Laptops
Desktops
Webcams
ATM's
TV's
Forms of AI have been implemented for generations now. People are just becoming more aware.

@MartinGuay@mstdn.ca Like what you've said a bit here, a big part of the problem is how marketing language wildly complicated and somehow also flattened perceptions about the underlying technologies. Machine learning and (older-school) automation were certainly part of a growing water and energy crisis but I think it is very fair to say that the newer, generative technology has increased the problem at a rate that is currently impossible to solve for & that it also introduces labor theft to the situation
