You expected AI to not give you a pro-AI answer, really?

What can we do so that AI uses less energy, less water, less RAM, and take up way less space?

Well, Moore's Law continues, and there are continued improvements in power efficiency and cost efficiency of chips, albeit at rates somewhat slower than historically.

The thing is, Jevon's paradox and all. If a fairy suddenly made all GPUs 1,000x more efficient, you wouldn't get 100x less power consumption, you'd just get plans for >1,000x more powerful data centers.

A reminder, though, that electricity consumption isn't an inherently bad thing (renewables account for almost 80% of electricity generation increases nowadays), and it's the reason we're able to live comfortable lives in the first place:

I imagine the R² would be even higher without offshoring of low-end manufacturing to developing economies. 

You know data centres are driving up people's electric bills, right?

And now AI bros are resorting to thuggery.
