How so? It's used entertainment.

Just like playing games

Devil's Advocate: This was used for entertainment, if you think this is a huge waste of electricity then so is gaming en especially flying.

If you criticize people using AI for entertainment then you also need to criticize people who take flights on holiday, as that's a LOT more damaging for the environment.

If you're mad at both, great. But I see a lot of hypocrisy.

People getting angry at others using AI because of the environment, but then taking flights on holiday when they could take a train.

This looks more to me like leaving the lights on in every unoccupied room in the house
