If LLMs used very little RAM and processing power, was light weight even for Mythos or Sol, would people be as opposed? Like no data centers, no memory shortages, like it was able to run on a calculator with the same performance.
The hardware and power shortages piss me off in particular because I'm a computers guy. But I also have friends who are writers and digital artists so I hate it for how it impacts them too. So 'as much'? No, but it'd still be hated.
edit: also I play TTRPGs so i hate it for polluting image aggregators too
