The power consumption is factored into the cost of AI. It’s still profitable after that, or they wouldn’t be doing it.

It’s the biggest buzzword right now, it doesn’t matter if it’s profitable. I doubt most uses are directly profitable right now. It’d more of a FOMO situation - if we don’t use AI, we’re OBSOLETE! AHHH!

If it turns out not to be profitable in the long run then people will stop.

Should we never even experiment?

That’s basically exactly my point. Seems we agree lol. I was just poking fun at the fact that it feels like just about every large tech company is doing it, just like when the metaverse was all the rage… Or crypto, or…
