Go to the US version of Ebay and put   146353099131  into the "Search" box on the front page. Click on the result. Scroll down to "Item description from the seller" .

A classic example of eBay's new "AI helper" for item description., Give it a few key words and off it goes. I found a historicals listing the other day (maybe for pirates?) that was rhapsodizing about their chainswords :D

I guess this is what we could call AI-splaining?

TBH, that technology has existed for decades and it doesn't consume that much power...

Are you kidding!  Data centers are consuming over 200 Terawatts (1,000 gigawatts * 200) per year worldwide and rising fast.  I guess it is a matter of perspective but that seems a lot to me, enough to power 14 million homes for a full year.  (14 million x around 3 per household = about 52,000,000 people using USA as an example).

Not to worry, however, we 'the human beast' are consuming the planets life-sustaining bio-mass at a faster rate than it can possibly replenish so we are all doomed in the end.  So get those figures painted while there is still time!   :o

Wot he said.
I agree with 15s. Absolutely, that's precisely the point.
Although 14million x 3 is 52,000,000?
You might want to check your maths*.
But your point still stands - it's still a big number


*'math' for our American readers. Although you presumably study mathematics, not mathematic, so why you lose that plural 's' for the abbreviation is beyond me. Still, I could care less, eh?

Oops, 42,000,000 - but what's ten million or so!  :D

Sometimes, I am surprised by peoples shear.. sigh, then again, situation normal.

AI - workforce of the future, we will just be needed to peddle the generators to power the workforce, so they can grow enough bugs and algae to keep us fed and peddling.

Lets face it, the people educating AI, we would not let educate our human children, and that is always debatable in quality no matter were you are in the world.

So.. yeah... AIS
