It is Earth Day, April 22. Earth Day 54 since the first in 1970. (Earth Day Quiz below… Visit EarthDay.org or Wikipedia: Earth Day for more.)
Wow.
The population was about 3.7b, now more than 8b. But as worldwide life span
increases and wealth increases so does lifetime consumption.
We employed our fav
GenAIs to chat about it… and to generate some graphics. This is the overview
with the prompts: there are two blog posts with GenAI chats: Part 1 and Part 2. Please feel free
to run GenAI chats of your own.
We questioned 4 GenAIs to help organize information
about Earth Day today and ways to address it. We tested the same or similar prompts
to Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4.0, Microsoft’s Copilot (which also uses
ChatGPT behind the scenes) and Anthropic’s Claude. Note that Gemini and Copilot
will tend to be closer to real-time (live Internet) information to augment the “learned”
responses.
Claude confused last year’s theme of “Investing in
Our Planet” with today’s theme. After a little nudge Claude did much better: “Claude,
this year’s theme 2024 is actually ‘Planet vs Plastic’.”
Note the various ways the AI might be able to help
solve or mitigate our world-wide sustainability problems.
The prompt answers are separated into a couple
different blog posts.
GenAI on Earth Day 2024: Part 1
Q: What is
the theme of Earth Day 2024? … And, generate a graphic that depicts this year’s
Earth Day theme.
Q: Create an Earth Day article that incorporates this year’s theme and
include ways that GenAI might help?
Q: If GenAI were a world leader, what would it say about Earth Day?
GenAI on Earth Day 2024: Part 2
Q: What is the consensus on how
soon we have to phase off of fossil fuels and move to carbon neutrality?
Q: What are the key factors that agreements like the Paris agreement
promote in order for the world to become carbon neutral?
