> AI won't be what acidifies our ocean

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.

> but AGI might save us from it.

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.
