I was getting screwed up voicemail speech to text way before AI. ๐คท
But now it can boil the oceans faster by a few dozen orders of magnitude!
It's training that uses a tremendous amount of power.
Speech-to-text transcribing of voicemails is done on-device and uses basically zero energy.
Gods, we are so stupid.
The human species survived alongside countless others for tens of thousands of years. It has taken us roughly two or three generations to fuck it all up in the relentless pursuit of profit.
It's basically only like six people who are actually to blame. I don't see why the rest of us need to be tared by the same brush.
I've never trained an AI on anything. I don't know how to, or care to.
We get to join the idiots, because even when some of us want to, we don't seem to have the ability to stop them.
