@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

@MartinGuay@mstdn.ca And I don't think your points above are bad at all and while there is a lot of misunderstanding on the topic, I don't think it's reasonable to equate the battery life automation on devices to like fully generating hours-long videos from Sora, on any of the points people have concerns and complaints about (energy, water, stolen labor).
