   ... "From a sustainability point of view such technology needs an extremely well argued case for still being deployed today. Merely increasing profit for a few is no such case and given the fact that LLMs are largely used for misinformation, surveillance, and desire creation (Castor & Gerard, 2023), it is hard to see why such systems should exist at all. There are indeed some benefits, but are they really worth it?"

     "Currently hyped kinds of AI like LLMs are amongst the resource hungriest digital technologies we humans have ever developed and they depend on exceptionally exploitative and destructive AI supply chains, e.g. the broad introduction of AI drives the construction of one hyperscaler data centre after the other (Marx, 2024) while taking renewable energy away from other uses."
