    What I find frustrating about the current wave of “AI” is how much it obfuscates any meaningful discussion about the utility of different methods and approaches.

    Does Machine Learning or Machine Vision have a role in decarbonisation? Probably yes but it will require thought (and carbon accounting to make sure savings large enough!).

    Do LLMs or other GenAI techniques designed to pump out rehashes of existing images or text at tremendous energy cost? No.

    Are either of them “Artificial Intelligence” or are either of them likely to become “Artificial Intelligence”? No.
