Well, AI made our search unusable dogshit. But AI also made us miss our climate goals, so
Google, which has an ambitious plan to address climate change with cleaner operations, came nowhere close to its goals last year, according to the company’s annual Environmental Report Tuesday.
You're viewing a single thread.
Tech companies make the case that AI, including tools such as ChatGPT, is not only partially causing climate change, it’s also helping to address it.
In the case of Google, that could mean using data to predict future flooding, or making traffic flow more efficiently, to save gasoline.
Sounds like a fallacy. It's a significant 13% year-to-year increase in pollution, with the hope of a future, potential, slim reduction in gasoline usage.
"could" is a word meaning "doesn't"
Prediction model: keep using me and the whole world will be flooded
Google: See! It’s helping us!
Ah yes the well known infallible AI responses like future flooding prediction:
"As to the question of flooding, according to data gathered we would place the chance of flooding at 99.99% in the area of Mons Agnes "
Sundar: Hello Computer, will AI development kill us all via climate change?
Engineer hiding in the background vigorously shakes 8-ball, then in fake AI voice: Signs point to yes.
Sundar: See!?!?! We’re HELPING CLIMATE CHANGE!
