There are (non-AI) algorithms for that. Git uses one to detect renames. No need to melt the ice caps just for that.

This was after applying various mechanisms of the traditional kind. Admittedly there was one domain specific strategy that want applied that would have caught a few more, but not all of them.

The point is that I had a task that was hard to code up, but trivial yet tedious for a human. AI approaches can bridge that gap sometimes.

In terms of energy consumption, it wouldn't be so bad if the approaches weren't horribly over used. That's the problem now, 99% of usage is garbage. If it settled down to like 3 or 4% of usage it would still be just as useful, but no one would bat an eye at the energy demand.

As with a lot of other bubble things, my favorite part is probably going to be it's life after the bubble pops. When the actually useful use cases remain and the stupid stuff does out.
