Because recycling takes relatively little effort for me and, aside from costing extra, doesn’t really negatively impact me. Giving up LLMs is a completely different story.

I’m happy to “do my part” but I go in eyes wide open and I won’t be guilted into doing it if it negatively affects me if there is someone/thing having a much larger negative impact without consequences.

You want to fine/charge LLM data centers? Be my guest. Ask me to stop using LLMs? Yeah no.

Calls to completely stop using LLMs are beyond absurd at this point.
