Here's my "aktchually..." moment.

In this episode, we discuss a recent paper comparing the carbon footprint of AI systems—like ChatGPT and DALL-E2—with that of human creators in writing and illustration. The study reveals that AI generates substantially lower emissions, often producing hundreds or thousands of times less CO2 equivalent per page or image.

The authors suggest that AI could serve as an environmentally friendly option across different sectors, though they also highlight challenges, including job displacement, legal concerns around data usage, and potential rebound effects. Join us as we dive into the environmental impact of AI and its potential to drive sustainable change.
