For somebody who moans about using technology and how it's so hard to navigate...well done.

It is very hard to navigate.
But to do the above I linked the picture to google Gemini and basically asked it to colourise it.
My daughter in law says however, that by me using such computer stuff I am destroying the planet.
She is very forthright and persuasive.

A data centre just used enough water to fill an Olympic swimming pool to produce that picture. 🤔

I know what I did colourising that picture was a bad thing to do, I didn’t realise it was quite that bad.
I feel pretty ashamed.

AI uses electricity and has an environmental footprint, just like streaming Netflix or using Google. 

But using it occasionally to colourise a  photo isn’t harming the planet in any significant way. 

The real environmental challenge comes from the enormous cumulative use of AI across the world, not from one person’s occasional request.

You’d think this factory was in Italy… until you see the writing on the vehicle to the left! So this is the paint factory in Charlton referred to in the video.

Did this become the Airfix factory?  I seem to remember the letters appearing under the roof CAFC esque style.

No, the entrance to the Airfix factory was Felltram Way ... next to the Angerstein railway bridge over Woolwich Road.  It was previously the site of the tram depot.

I put the paint factory roughly where the Makro car park is now.

I think you're wrong. If only there were somewhere we could meet to settle this disagreement.
