4. I use whatever tools are available and that I choose to use

Please stop using the internet entirely if you are worried about electricity and water.

All server farms use electricity, all require cooling. most liquid cooling systems do not "use water", they merely heat it with waste heat generated by resistance to electrons moving through circuits. The water is still there, very little is even converted to vapor form ( where it is still water ). AFAIK no water is converted through electrolysis to hydrogen and oxygen when "used" to cool computers.

AI "stole" the IP of what google already generated and made publicly available ( without any copyright notice btw ). So there was no theft. This synopsis was not lifted from a scholarly work published by a journal. It was taken from public remarks made by fans of the show. Published on that evil internet that uses electricity and water.

And I got the answer in seconds.

I find it extremely humorous that you waste so much time and effort ( not to mention electricity ) posting your opposition to AI as if this is some new horror that will doom mankind ( as if it is any different than the other uses of computers ). You don't like it, don't use it. You don't like wasting energy... turn off you laptop / desk side / phone and stop using the internet.

don't use a microwave to heat your food... or a electric or gas stove either. Stop driving cars, electric or gasoline. Heat your home with only wood harvested from your own property.

Or is it that YOU made a value judgment as to the proper use of electricity and computers and now wish to impose those values on everyone else.
