have you tried looking up anything recently? the internet sucks, and it’s only getting worse.
If I ask the lying machine, I’ll at least get an answer. There’s a not insignificant chance that the answer will be wrong, but at least it’s an answer.
If you’re using one of the LLMs to search, you can just twirl out the source list and click through to the pages it found relevant to your prompt. In my experience, it pulls a better list of links than DDG or Google. You can just ignore the summary it writes.
Wow, you pivot a lot. The power consumption of data centers as a whole in the US was ~5% of total in 2024. But they are definitely guzzling water, no doubt about that. It’d be nice if we still had environmental regulatory agencies with teeth to force better cooling methods. Doug Forcett comes to mind.

Bwahahahahaha a wrong answer is not an answer. Thats how misinformation spreads. SMH
laugh all you want. This is the reality we live in. It sucks and I hate it, but there’s not much I can do about it.
Just wait for the bubble to pop. In the meantime learn to use your brain while others are giving themselves brain atrophy.

I don’t input anything that I care about them spying on. As for brain rot, we’re on social media, aren’t we?
So you say but they are slowly giving Ai root access.
You also are forgetting the environment impacts this slop is having.

Comparing the brainrot from Ai to using a federated communication network is fucking pathetic.
