    How much electricity was used to train Copilot? How much MORE is going to be used in the future.

    Feels to me like you don’t understand the problem set and you’re just impressed by a tool spitting out guesses based on millions of examples it hoovered up.

      Oh no, electricity! If only there were some way to generate more of it.

      This “it uses electricity” thing is such a weird objection. Yes, it uses electricity. That’s why it costs money to run. People pay that money to run it, and if it wasn’t helpful enough to be worth that money they wouldn’t pay it.

      I work on AI and it feels to me like you literally don’t understand it at all based on your comments in this thread. But you sure do have all the buzzwords down pat.

        He thinks LLMs could be replaced by a “text template”, so yeah, this guy’s clearly not actually tried using it for anything meaningful before.

          You’re right, a template would be more specific to the question and guaranteed accurate, while not taking GPU years to train and untold quantities of stolen content. So, I guess a template would be a much better solution.
