minus-squaretechnocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down9·edit-25 months agoYes, bitcoin is trash. But most modern cryptos use far less energy. For example the second largest crypto ethereum uses almost no energy compared to bitcoin/AI.. “AI” can not say the same at all. And, unlike crypto, there’s no realistic improvement in sight. It just keeps getting worse.

minus-squareQuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 months agoThere’s more to “AI” than just ChatGPT… I think you’re mixing up what AI actually means here, you would probably like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGIpdiQrFDU But in brief, what about DLSS? The ML models for that get improved with every driver update. STT models like whisper that are great at transcribing/translating. Object recognition models for drones to keep the camera centered on you and for object avoidance. ML models for finding new cures. Models in astronomy for finding planets… Etc. You’re trying to tell me that everything “AI” is trash and not getting better?
