Comment Not sure of the relevence of this study. (Score 1) 134

Ok so were now cheering AI with a built in bias they tested on people?
All this proves is that giving peopled biased information works.

In this case the bias is negative bias toward conspiracy theory.
But it could just as easily be done to refute the truth about climate change
or the troubles in the middle east.

"Should all artists get compensation from all AI companies that used their work to build a model?"

You are fundamentally misunderstanding how this works.
Building a "Model" does not include training it

Training the "Model" s the part where someone elses work is needed.

Ergo , you can build a model without infringing on anything.

Studies estimate that an AI model like ChatGPT-4 consumes around 2.9 Wh (watt-hours) per query for inference (i.e., generating responses).

Assuming 1 user uses the service 10 times per week:-
400 million users × 10 queries per user = 4 billion queries per week
4 billion queries × 2.9 Wh per query = 11.6 billion Wh
11.6 billion Wh = 11.6 GWh (gigawatt-hours) per week

11.6 GWh × 52 weeks = 603.2 GWh per year
This is roughly equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 55,000 U.S. homes
(based on an average of 10.9 MWh per home per year).

If the electricity comes from fossil fuels (~400 g CO per kWh), then:

603.2 GWh × 400 g/kWh = 241,280 metric tons of CO per year
This is equivalent to the emissions from 52,000 gasoline-powered cars annually.

This is just for chatgpt.

How do we differentiate between the high fat content the foods people put inside the containers causing heart disease from the heart disease coming from the microplastics of the container when microwaved?

Also how do they differentiate between the microplastics in the air we breath, and the food we eat, and how can we be certain which of these individual sources of microplastic is the original cause of the disease ?
