This is valid to all data centers serving all websites. Your take is a criticism of unregulated capitalism, not AI.

Beef farming is a far far far more impactful discussion, yet here we are.

Ai takes far more power to serve a single request than a website does though.

And remember, AI requires those websites too, for training data.

So it’s not just more power hungry, it also has thw initial power consumption added on top

  A good chunk of the Internet usage is HD videos which is far more power hungry than AI. I agree it’s added on top…just like streaming did in 2010, and as things will continue to do.
