Training large models like an LLM (text generation) or a stable diffusion model (image generation) consumes a lot of energy and using these models isn't cheap either. It's bad for the climate in the same way cryptocurrency is.

    +1, it is much worse than even proof-of-work crypto though. I think AI is the bigger enemy, since at least in crypto, there are ways of developing and using it that aren't as bad (or even at all) for the climate.
