You trained that AI locally too? With only content you own?
I don't pay for models in any way so I'm not responsible for the emissions during training. AI companies decided to create these emissions, not me.
I did a bit of research and the full emissions of AI is relatively small compared to other things but still far from negligible. If we take this guardian article at face value the total emissions of AI is 80 million tonnes. Which is about 1.3% of total carbon emissions (about 6 billion tonnes). I did a bit of research and I just thought I'd share.
