AI won't be what acidifies our ocean, but AGI might save us from it.

Strangely enough, I don't see you calling to end the consumption of meat which would have a far larger environmental impact while not slowing global progress at all.

Tech is what got us where we are. AI allows us to use more energy to produce more of what is currently measurably killing us.

This is just faith. Some believe that prayers may save us.

"AI energy usage" is a convenient scapegoat not backed by data.

Many things are orders of magnitude bigger than AI in the energy usage problem that bring less comparable value.
