I tried to post this to Reddit but for some reason it keeps getting removed by filters. I normally just lurk on Lemmy but I decided to make an account because I’m so over that stupid platform.
ANYWAY
Last night on my flight home I noticed that the person in front of me was using ChatGPT. I got nosy so I looked closer and found out that they were actually using ChatGPT to write the content for a program of a sustainability and climate conference. They specifically included a section about “dirty” energy sources and the harm that results from energy producers supplying data centers. I was floored.
I am not sure if this was the final product or just a draft, but I find it pretty gross and ironic that the AI that is fueling the climate crisis and responsible for the rapid development of data centers that are doing irreparable damage to local communities and ecosystems is being employed to create the materials for a sustainability conference. Maybe start with looking in the mirror first?
I looked up the company, and turns out this program might be part of a Keynote Livestream that is featuring the Mayor of San Fransisco lol.
So? Did he know you?
You’re kind of missing the point here. Someone who considers himself a leader (even remotely) should be able to effortlessly start casual conversation (a long forgotten art by any metric) with people around him. Otherwise, he is just yet another corporate hoe getting paid for writing about and presenting subjects he knows nothing about.
What the hell kind of point of view is that? Like, he owes it to you based on your interpretation of his … social debt to you? What?
That’s like sitting on a bus next to an electrical engineer working on his design but he didn’t rewire your kitchen for you so, you know, what kind of electrical engineer is that?
And why were you spying on a stranger’s work anyway?
