Verb CEO Cyrus Beschloss is criticizing the people who criticize AI but continue to use it. He believes they are struggling to make a decision between data centers and AI tools like ChatGPT. Beschloss claimed that even those who oppose data centers still use AI. During CNBC's Trading the Midterms event, Beschloss said that when confronted with the choice of shutting down data centers or ChatGPT, it will not be an easy decision for them.
Verb, his company, operates a data exchange where users can earn money by selling their proprietary information to AI companies. The company's data indicates that most AI assistant queries are related to schoolwork, writing, business, and side hustles. Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in 2022, tech companies have been competing to dominate the market.
Critics of AI are worried about potential negative impacts on jobs, the environment, and even humanity. Data centers, required to power AI systems, are a tangible representation of these concerns. Beschloss is calling out the hypocrisy of AI critics, stating they are using the technology despite their opposition.
