nobody wanted according to whom? It's literally the most used product of this century stop deluding yourself.
All datacenters in the world combined use like 5% of our energy now and the value we get from computing far outweighs any spending we have here. You're better off not buying more trash from Temu rather than complain about software using electricity. This is ridiculous.
Nah dawg im pretty sure the most used product this century is food.
the most used product of this century is actually your momma
Where are you getting your false information. Its certainly not the most used. And, the reason it's used at all is from advertising and ownership of the media by the billionaire class to shove the gibbity in our faces at every waking moment so people use it. They're losing money like never before on ai.
This level of collective delusion is crazy. I don't think any amount of stats will change your mind so you're clearly argueing in bad faith but sure:
https://explodingtopics.com/blog/chatgpt-users says 5.2B monthly visits compared to Facebook 12.7 and Instagram's 7.5. Chatgpt is literally bigger than X.com already. Thats just one tool and LLM's have direct integrations in phones and other apps.
I really don't understand what's the point of purposefully lying here? We can all hate billionaires together without the need for this weird anti-intellectual bullshit.
I don't agree that it's the most used invention this century. Also, typing "hi there gibbity" hardly counts as actually using the tool. If thats what you mean though, sure.
People hate AI so much (for many good reasons!) that they can't see or accept the truth: many many people want to use it, not just "billionaires"
