    yes, let’s use nuclear energy to generate half assed AI assistants, images and videos instead of making clean energy cheaper

      Nuclear energy is clean, but I agree this energy should be used for a useful purpose, which would bring down costs.

        that is the point? when big tech monopolizes sources of clean energy, it becomes more expensive (or can not become cheaper at best) because there is less availability

      Every Google search should include an AI answer! Who cares about energy usage, we’ll just buy a nuclear power plant!
