It's hidden in the sense that the normal user does not see the true cost on their energy bill. You perform a search and get the result in milliseconds. That makes it easy to get the false impression that it's just a minor operation. It's not like driving a car and watching the the fuel gauge and see the consumption.

Of course one can research how much energy Google consumes and find out the background – IF you're interested. But most people just use tech and do not question or even understand.

AI-generated images and videos will become so flawless that they will no longer be easily distinguishable. We cannot build up media competence in the general public as quickly as is required.

Wir brauchen in Zukunft definitiv weniger Autos, dementsprechend sollten auch nicht noch mehr Straßen gebaut werden.

Public transport in Japan really is such a delightful experience. Also the organization and the habit of the people using it. It just works. And is cheap.

Raijin's Wrath

Prompt: Pikachu in the style of a Black Metal cover artwork, looking very angry and evil, screaming, with sharp teeth, wrinkled skin, corpse paint and a double viking axe guitar. There's a cryptic thorny black metal band logo above its head. In the background there's a Transylvanian medieval castle, dead trees, a crescent moon and some crows. The whole picture is in greyscales only.

Oh, that's right, that Boss looks similar. I didn't know that game.

I played Ninja Mission on the Amiga back then:

I think the true use case for these AI technologies is yet to come. What most people are doing with the "AI" tools available today is just gambling around. But working with personal computers could be changing fundamentally in the coming years.

That's how their teenage children look like before they grow legs and antlers.
