All the people here chastising LLMs for resource wastage, I swear to god if you aren't vegan...
Whataboutism isn’t useful. Nobody is living the perfect life. Every improvement we can make towards a more sustainable way of living is good. Everyone needs to start somewhere and even if they never move to make more changes at least they made the one.
I disagree.
There's so much proud ignorance in this world, it's great to always remind the average person how they're contributing to problems they don't even realize.
We should bring their hypocrisy to light, or else they will legitimately go through life thinking that there isn't a problem.
So when people tell you about the positive changes they’ve made you in return like to point out that they still aren’t living up to your standards? I’m not sure that’s the way to go to motivate and inspire people to do better. But you do you I guess.
