Folks: a reminder -> Google frequently cite this "research" that claims a 5-10% global (global!!!!) decrease in emissions thanks to "AI"

Early applications were optimization in fracking/O&G so that efficiency increase is getting credit against the previous inefficient operations extended to those same yields; not an actual atmospheric ppm accounting. e.g. not only is it a counterfactual the facts were extraction expansion.

I saw something the other day about Bill Gates saying AI will lead to a reduction in emissions. Can't understand how or why. A query sent to an AI vs a simple search engine query, is 25x the emissions & 10x the cost.

This is bananas. Also, "AI" (including stuff I work on) has been reducing emissions from power plants and buildings for decades. Almost none of it is anywhere near as hungry for compute as the generative AI models of today's bubble.
