I feel like we shouldn't be criticizing AI for its energy consumption:
- the energy costs will (in my opinion) come down 3 orders of magnitude, so if we focus on that now, we'll look stupid later when we change our argument why it's bad
- I think that *if* LLMs were ethical, the current energy expenditure would actually be reasonable given the huge benefit they can provide

The unethical/problematic part of AI for me is
- the use of copyrighted works against many author's explicit wishes
- the possibility of using it for social engineering
- the mass unemployment/wealth inequality it will create
