The energy consumption is certainly a large concern but there is also the concern that machines and programs that provide answers are controlled by the owner of the AI model(s) therefore subject to biases as we watched with X/Twitter. It is no longer a free space to exchange information.

Orwell told us about The Ministry of in 1984. Turns out he was right just 40 years ahead

You are COMPLETELY correct. Not to mention that bias can come from who the person is, and therefore it's a lot of inculcated white guy bias, in addition to the evil biases that they choose.

They tell me that AI can do my writing for me.... but what I REALLY want is for there to be an AI that cleans my house and runs my errands so I can have MORE time to write. :-)
