Many people claim AI can help us solve climate change, so I decided to ask Google Gemini.

It regurgitated the same points climate advocates have made for for over 40 years:

  1. Transition to Renewable Energy
  2. Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  3. Sustainable Agriculture and Land Use
  4. Climate-Resilient Cities and Infrastructure: Design cities to be more walkable, bikeable, and transit-oriented
  5. International Cooperation and Policy

So there we have it folks.

If you’ve been waiting for an LLM to give you the list of things we need to do to solve climate change, then you now have the answer as regurgitated by an AI.

Now let’s get on with it.

    The problem is that ChatGPT is not capable of original ideas. When you see AI, you (and the bulk of the population) think Artificial Intelligence, but what you should be thinking is Assumed Intelligence.

    If you open up a mobile phone keyboard and tap the next suggested word repeatedly, you’re doing exactly the same as a large language model like ChatGPT, just much slower and with a tiny dataset.

    And just like an autopredict keyboard can spout nonsense, so can ChatGPT. It’s euphemistically called hallucinations, but really it’s just grammatically correct gibberish.
