"If someone used a large truck to deliver one envelope across the street, what
would your reaction be? You would probably say it worked, but it was wasteful.
The envelope arrived, but the method made little sense.
In many ways, this mirrors how we often use artificial intelligence (AI) today.
We use powerful AI systems such as ChatGPT to write short messages, polish
simple sentences, and answer questions we could handle ourselves with less
intensive tools. The outcome is the same. But under the hood, the differences
in processing, electricity, and water use are enormous.
One small request will not change the planet. But millions of small and
unnecessary requests can add up over time. The question is not whether AI is
good or bad. The better question is whether we are using the right amount of AI
for the right task."
