people downvote your sarcasm, but if you do the calculations you're kinda right.

1Kg of Beef costs:

  - The energy equivalent of 60.000 ChatGPT queries.
  - The water equivalent of 50.000.000 ChatGPT queries.
Applied to their metric Mistral Large 2 used:

  - The water equivalent of 18.8 Tons of Beef.
  - The CO2 equivalent of 204 Tons of Beef.
France produces 3836 Tons of Beef per day,

and one large LLM per 6 months.

So yeah, maybe use ChatGPT to ask for vegan recipes.

People will try to blame everything else they can get a hold on before changing the stuff that really has an impact, if it means touching their lifestyle.

The LLMs are not the problem here.
