Are you trying to say that making a series of http requests to view a website is even remotely equivalent in energy usage compared to running inference with an llm model???
Yes since you’re not the only one doing it. The impact on climate is substantial in both cases and people are absolute hypocrites for not realizing this. You can’t come online and shit post all day about AI without realizing you’re using services that also contribute to The same if not worse impact
Someone using a lightbulb isn’t a hypocrite if they say it is irresponsible to use the resources to power a computer, and someone using the internet isn’t a hypocrite if they say the absurdly higher resource usage of llm inference is irresponsible.
You can call people hypocrites all day if you pretend that scale isn’t a concept, but you’re obviously wrong.
You’re on the Internet. Should we shut that off as well?
How are you any better with coming online to shit post and look at memes.
The datacenters used to run websites and social media are not any better.

Great Whataboutism.
