In theory the carbon footprint could be solved by moving to green energy.
But there are other issues with generative AI like e-waste and scalability.

@HugeGameArtGD Not really agreeing here. If there would be enough energy (for basic needs) it is still questionable to me, if we should waste overproduction on useless text-generation of nicely compressed bullet-point-information or instead use it for the greater good?

@HugeGameArtGD @phreaknerd in theory it could be solved, in the long term. In practice they're using dirty local fossil fuel generators to power servers because they can't get enough power off the grid.
