ok, tbh, AI language practice does actually sound like one good use of it. https://languatalk.com/try-langua#pricing
No deep understanding or nuance, plus stilted phrasing... but basic errors should be fine, like me forgetting to add が everywhere.
Huge wastage though! AI / LLM / Machine Learning services are massive carbon sources.
Especially with data centers in drought-prone areas, even a good use is still bad.
Hot areas cannot sustain AI: Computer calculations produce heat, which radiates away more slowly into already hot air.
Cooling AI data centers drains water -- especially potable / human-safe sources.
Reservoirs and water tables drop even faster than they would from extras in other human usage, evaporation due to global warming, and whatever third thing probably also happens.
Idk, I'm not a climate scientist. I just have climate grief.
