How about not at all? We've got data centres making heat islands. You really wanna risk heat islands just to eliminate mundane and repetitive tasks?

What about tasks that don't need to be farmed out to huge data centres? Apple's CPUs have been including AI processing units since the start of the decade, and several of the more recent models from Intel and AMD include them as well. I think it's clear that the tide is turning against generative AI in a big way, but does that also make it wrong for, say, someone to use on-device AI to save 10-15 minutes in the creation of a Word document or spreadsheet?

Since when can there be an AI without a data centre?

The only AI I see these days is the kind that wastes water, steals from human artists, makes child porn, blows up Iranian civilians, and makes heat islands. All this is because small minded billionaires wanted to save even more money, not caring that they're golden goose is destroying the world one way or another.
