@NatureMC I expressed myself poorly. I'm aware myself and don't use generative AI. 'Have yet to hear anyone in 'real life' talk about the environmental cost' was my clumsy shorthand for: I've yet to hear anyone in a social setting, at work or in my circle mention the environmental cost of #AI. Everyone I know in person loves using AI. They seem unaware of the copyright & environmental issues. They aren't seeking or reading information about it. I think awareness-raising campaigns are needed.
