This was exceptionally helpful and really appreciated. There were so many excellent points it’s hard to choose just one but I loved this point about people with lived experiences creating the tools driving AI. We need purpose and partnership versus stochastic parrots. Thanks!

LLMs Environmental and Educational Harms Demand Immediate Action
By
–
AI community I’ve been a part for ten years! Who needs “sentient” AI when LLMs use SO MUCH water now & harm students bc people think they’re cheating & steal IP? Who needs long term “potential harms?” The REAL harms are HERE NOW. Ban LLMs until they don’t harm people & planet.

LLMs water consumption hidden environmental cost of AI
By
–
The soundtrack of climate change is definitively weed whacked and lawn mowers. If anyone ever invented tools that more provide a sense of being able to control and manipulate nature, let me know. Oh, right – LLMs and their water use. But they’re silent and hidden.

LLM Water Consumption Crisis Demands Immediate Regulation
By
–
Agreed. So are you in? 🙂 Let’s ban LLMs until they stop using water. Come on! Let’s get called Luddites together & hear myriad answers that all boil down to people saying, “But the LLMs make me money or famous NOW. Don’t make me be responsible!” #BanLLMs Gary? @GaryMarcus

New AI USB Algorithm Raises Ethical Concerns on Resources and IP
By

HEY EVERYONE!! I have a new USB outfitted with an algorithm that does (functionality hidden) but it does, unfortunately, use MASSIVE amounts of water, increases racism & robs most humans of their IP. Can I get HUGE amounts of funding & distract all of western media for months?

Should LLMs Be Banned Until Water Usage Eliminated?
By
–
What if one of the biggest ways to fight climate change/save water is to ban LLMs until they don’t use water at all? Will we continue to watch the world burn in sake of progress defined solely by exponential productivity & profit? Not me. I have kids. I fight for them. #BanLLMs

Ban LLMs Until They Prioritize Planet Water Sustainability
By
–
You can’t say “ban guns” in America. Or you can to no avail. But I am saying “Ban LLMs until they prioritize planet and people.” Everyone needs water. We don’t need LLMs until said systems STOP expediting massive water loss. The world is on fire and suffering drought. #BanLLMs

LLMs’ Water Consumption and Societal Harms Under Scrutiny
By
–
What if we make “Ban” an acronym for “Biodiversity and Nature?” Then a BAN on LLMs would help remind people we DON’T need tools that siphon vast amounts of water to help build PPTs faster and harm lives of kids getting accused of cheating. We do NEED water. It is us. #Ban LLMs.

LLM Regulation: Innovation Through Environmental and Social Responsibility
By
–
“Banning” something sounds extreme based on what society deems as “progress.” Where said progress only helps a tiny amount of people while harming most people and the planet, “banning” = innovation. If LLMs prioritize planet & people as criteria for their use, wonderful! #BanLLMs
