i think a substantial part of the problem is that i can invoke "Eduardo Valdes-Hevia" in the model and get something which you don't own but have a stake in. this is a machine which makes labor into capital and much of it is unregulated.

"If people didn't want to use the thing, there wouldn't be so many people trying to sell the thing" is not a circular argument. The other thing I said is a question.

AI "has some use cases" in the same way that computers or the Internet have some use cases. Because of the scale at which it is being used and will be used, saying that AI harms the environment is tantamount to saying that human economic activity harms the environment.

Why would there be a non-LLM answer when there is no conventional meaning of "AI" that doesn't refer to LLMs?
And no it hasn't, and no it doesn't. Slowdowns occur because we don't yet know how to hold the technology correctly. If LLM features didn't help, Copilot wouldn't have so many competitors.

The number stood at 64% in Stackoverflow's 2024 developer survey: survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/ai
Other surveys at the time and since then provide similar or higher numbers, possibly as high as 90%.

No that is what I mean, and I take "AI" to by synonymous with "LLMs". Either while writing code in the form of autocomplete, agents, or semantic search, or at some point in their CI pipelines / PR review processes in the form of review assistants, documentation writers etc.

You can use an LLM to build a hospital EMR or drive people insane. What do we with this? I don't know. But its environmental impact is really beside the point.

For example, practically every professional software developer in the world is using AI for some or even a major part their job. That's every professional dev, in every industry where software is developed.
