The amount of environmental impact that a single ChatGPT query is incredibly minimal (on the order of magnitude of a Google search, but there’s no discussion of lowering our usage of those). If we’re discussing ChatGPT training, the emissions case is on the order of magnitude of removing 2 days of flights between New York and San Francisco, and again there’s no discussion of reducing those.

ChatGPT is an incredibly valuable tool, and given its relatively small climate impact, it doesn’t seem to be the place to get maximal emissions reduction.

The environmental ethics are only part of the mess. There's also the issue of how LLMs scrape the web and scoop up a huge amount of copyrighted material and repurpose it. Some publishers have sued over it, and others have made deals with AI companies. But it's going to be an area with a lot of litigation in years to come. People have called AI tools plagiarism engines and there's a case to be made for that.

It’s crazy how much close friends influence you.
Would you stay friends with someone that consistently makes bad financial decisions. Or distance yourself for like-minded folk.

I have a friend that is constantly trying to guilt me and pressure me into overspending, especially on “luxury” items. But I have different goals for my money and she doesn’t seem to respect that.
