Comment on I getting more and more enraged seeing self proclaimed leftists resorting to ghastly Gen AI to bastardise their rather humorous ideas.

Do you have any evidence to support the claim that a computer usage goes down thanks to AI? Maybe some decreasing electricity bills for people who no longer use their computers so much?

ChatGPT has one billion monthly active users, so I’m not sure why you imply offline models are the norm and not the exception btw

I never claimed that computer usage goes down thanks to AI, and honestly I don't see how that could be interpreted from my comment.

I never implied offline models are the norm anymore than you implied ChatGPT sits idle once a user logs off.

    I'm not going to do that, because I hate it when comments get edited in such a way that the whole context changes. However, to clarify: to your reply "I didn't realize people shut off their computers after having AI do something they might not have otherwise done anyway" I answered that yes, people actually do that. If they run a local model, the model also shuts down. If they don't run a local model, they can still shut down their computer and the next user can use ChatGPT or whatever online model they use.
