    Kan godt lide ecosia, men gad godt at de ikke plantede træer med den ene hånd og så implementerer en ai der er pissedårlig for klimaet med den anden hånd.

    Det er sådan lidt ligesom at have camouflagetøj OG gul vest på samtidigt. Så man man lige vælge om man vil ses eller gemme sig, om man vil redde miljøet eller smadre det.

      Ifølge deres FAQ er det noget de er klar over og holder øje med. Jeg tænker, at Ecosia måske tænker, at det er grønnere at have folk som vil bruge en AI chat komme til Ecosia i stedet for andre steder.

      Jeg bruger selv Ecosia, men ikke deres chat bot.

      Is generative AI sustainable?

      We have estimated the carbon footprint of our AI chatbot and according to our first estimates it does not significantly increase the overall carbon footprint of Ecosia. The estimate takes into account that Ecosia searches are already 200% carbon negative,as we produce twice as much energy as is consumed by our search engine. We are currently working with two universities to refine our carbon footprint assessment.

      Unfortunately the more important issue is that the leading language AI model providers are still not transparent about the energy consumption of their models, so without this clarity we can only make rough estimations of our impact. We will continue to monitor our energy usage and urge leading AI companies to do the same and be transparent about their impact.
