Quoting: PenguinIt's ironic seeing the majority of votes being in favor of AI usage. Everything tech-related is getting prohibitively expensive because of it. I could sort of understand those that were pro generative AI / LLM before, but now it's nonsense to defend what is leading the tech industry to its doom (at least for the regular users), and I'm not even talking about the whole climate issues that are going on for three years at this point.

Yeah, it's important to remember that even if you like AI, it will either price you out of a PC in a couple more years, or you accept that a £2000 PC now costs £6000 and that's just the happy price of a "useful" tool. And you also have to stick your head in the sand about the environmental impact, smack bang in the middle of a climate crisis.

Sadly, there are plenty of ostriches about, so that last point won't be a problem at least. Unless you live on the coast.
