Do you want to know how many identical questions ChatGPT gets asked every week, recomputing its answer each time because people stopped sharing results? I don't, but I'm sure it far exceeds 3 billion. "How to center a div", "how to install this and that package", "what is this pop culture reference", "who is this famous person",...

OpenAI does cache the most frequent questions like this.

Having a lot of fun with my son using an image of him and dressing him in all kinds of costumes. How is that depressing to you?

I wouldn't feel comfortable uploading a picture of my child to OpenAI servers (for fun nonetheless), but you do you.

I thought that was parents point, that currently they're using so shitty AI generated logos, that even if we despise that as a concept, at least better models output slightly less sloppy shit. But re-reading it, I'm not sure that was the right initial reading.

I am wondering if in 2-3 years AI will be heads and shoulders above us in both images and text. Then will we continue to see the slop accusations? Maybe its slop is better than most of our work.

would you like a carbon receipt for your video gaems, netflix, and reddit sessions?

Bad examples. Use meat consumption. It will blow any other kind of "non-essential" resource use out of the water, on ALL fronts. It's really hard to believe that people care about the personal impact of their decisions, when it's only ever other peoples decisions that get talked about.

Jeez where did the vegan touch you?

I've really enjoyed using AI to generate images. For example, Long time ago, I read an amazing five-book saga called Riverworld, and I used AI to recreate many scenes, places, and ideas from the story. Seeing the books come to life through hundreds of images was a great experience. Definitely one of the coolest things to enjoy in 2026. Try it with your favorite books.

If said game, video, or social media site used 1-2.5 kWh of electricity for every 10s of content then I'd say definitely! Thankfully web browsing is no where near that.

You must have your units really messed up because there's no way that's right. A GPU drawing 700W for 10s would be 1.9444 Wh or 0.0019444 kWh and that's if the GPU was only serving your image gen for the whole 10s which is unlikely, most of the time is probably queuing since even a much lower powered GPU in a desktop PC can generate the same image in well under 10s.

The sheer waste that accompanies image and video genAI is actually terrifying. I challenge OpenAI to put a "your carbon footprint" field next to each generation. If you have nothing to hide, more information is surely better, right?

Is it fundamentally different to burning wood just to enjoy watching the flames?

I wish I could do it better. There seems to be a lot of variability. This episode of radiolab on the topic is fascinating: https://radiolab.org/podcast/aphantasia/transcript?utm_sourc...
