AI’s voracious need for computing power is threatening to overwhelm energy sources, requiring the industry to change its approach to the technology, according to Arm Holdings Plc Chief Executive Officer Rene Haas.

    Correction, AI in the LLM/Diffusion sense is a decent tutor for cheap. Can cobble together rough temp art, and if used by an actually capable artist, make cool stuff.

    Anything else and it’s a garbage firehose, it’s the undisputed king of mediocrity. Which, given the standards of SPAM and the modern web, is exactly what it’s being used for.

    What a shame.

        And we’re rapidly liquidating the reserves of useful information in order to feed this beast.

        Google results are declining as websites like Stack Exchange and Reddit crap out, Wikipedia pages are filling up with misinformation, news articles are increasingly full of nonsense and procedural generated fluff.

        Its not just garbage on its face. Its a cancer that’s spreading through the rest of our internet archives, blotting out the good and bloating front pages with bad data.

        Still saves a ton of time from learning from either somewhat related tutorials. Garbage courses. Or digging through the modern spam infested web.

        It’s a decent tutor, never said that it’s perfect. I will not hesitate that using it as an assistant has bumped up my productivity and learning by roughly 50% when it comes to programming.

        Of course, it has it’s myriad problems, specially in bleeding edge fields like AI development with libraries iterating sometimes nightly. As well as it’s trend to not exactly teach, but instead answer your specific question. So you still need to have some initiative and still rely on a few human resources.


        HOWEVER, I do agree that blindly copy pasting code from an AI is a TERRIBLE idea. And all the buzz about AI developers seems like a disaster waiting to happen (and it certainly will!).
