LLM are the future, but we must still learn to use it correctly. The energy problem depends mainly on 2 things, the use of fossil energy and the abuse of AI including it without need in everything, because the hype, as data logging tool for Big Brother or biased influencers.
You don’t need a 4x4 8 cylinder Pick-up to go 2km to the store to buy bread.
It’s simply another case where we have amazing technologies but we lack the right ways to use them, that’s what our culture does: creating amazing techs that can solve lots of human problems and then discarding the part that actually solves a problem unless it’s also profitable for the individual.
It literally is a problem of people wanting to submit other people for power games, that’s not how all societies work, but that’s a foundation for ours, but we’re playing this game so much that we almost broke the console (planet earth and our own bodies health).
It’s an anthropological problem, not a technological one.
LLMs are tools. They’re not replacements for human creativity. They are not reliable sources of truth. They are interesting tools and toys that you can play with.
So have fun and play with them.
See, it’s not fun for the planet.
Locally run models use a fraction of the energy. Less than playing a game with heavy graphics.
