And of course
AI significantly impacts the environment through massive energy consumption, high water usage for cooling data centers, and increased electronic waste (e-waste). Training and running AI models, particularly generative AI, requires vast amounts of electricity, largely sourced from fossil fuels, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

(21,021 posts)What you thought of the AI restoration. After loading it in Photoshop with increased unsharp mask, the AI version looks like a demented, redheaded troll with lunatic eyes.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
