AI apologists keep saying AI will solve the climate crisis. That's self-contradictory. Humankind has known for 50 years what's needed to combat climate change.
Part of that solution is NOT to build things like AI, that lead to energy surges, freshwater shortages and a massive growth of e-waste. 👇
So when AI proponents say AI will solve the climate crisis they are really saying they will find a way to keep destroying the environment, killing off species and triggering extreme weather events without they themselves having to change anything about their lifestyle.
