How many lives would AI have to save for you to say the energy cost is worth it?

I see no point in making this a numbers game. (Like, I was supposed to say "five" or something?)

Let's make it more of a category thing: when AI shows itself responsible for a new category of life-saving technique, like a cure for cancer or Alzheimer's, then I'd have to reconsider.

(And even then, it will be balanced against rising sea levels, extinctions, and other energy use effects.)

We’re way past that

How many lives have been saved by AI? How many lives have been lost because of it?

		Not what I’m asking. But idk, do you have stats? I wouldn’t say _lost_ as a ding against, _ruined_ or _negatively impacted_ is sufficiently a problem
