The most popular, and often the shallowest, opinion about AI is:
“AI consumes too much energy, water, and GPU power.”
What is even more concerning is that this belief is often held by people responsible for making critical decisions, and those decisions are shaped by hype rather than technical understanding.
The real problem is not AI itself.
The problem is using AI without a proper strategy.
With smart routing, model segmentation, and detached systems, resource usage can be reduced by up to 90% because large models are only activated when genuinely required.
Using AI without strategy is like:
🚛 Using a truck to carry a single stone.
🏎️ Using a Ferrari to move house.
🛡️ Using an armoured vehicle to commute to work.
Powerful technology should not be deployed blindly for every task.
Use small models for simple tasks.
Use large models only for complex problems.
Use deterministic systems when AI is unnecessary.
AI is not automatically wasteful.
Poor AI architecture, weak governance, and hype-driven decision-making are what create waste.

Whoever wrote this actually did the work on use large models.
Si hay una continuación sobre 90%, la leeré.
The framing on use small models for simple is better than expected.
The part on 🛡️ using an armoured vehicle is the bit I keep re-reading.
The direction on 🏎️ using a ferrari is spot on.
