Great big difference though: A dishwasher is a water-saving and energy-saving technology.

Not saying LLMs are all bad, just that comparing them to dishwashers is probably not the best idea.

How much energy does a human + work enviroment cost vs an LLM call?

Human driving into work? Heating/cooling?

Wonder why big AI hasn't sold it as an enviromental SAVING technology.

After AI tech matures more, we will be able to save EVEN MORE energy by eliminating all the people from the environment.
