Yes, obviously AI is emitting way too much. It shouldn't even be producing 0.2% of global emissions, let alone 2%. My main grievance is that no one ever talks about improving industrial and agricultural processes even though they produce around 29% of emissions and 20% of emissions respectively.

this is like saying "since rich people have plantations full of slaves I'm not freeing my one house slave until they free all of theirs"

and billionaire use the same logic btw - "sure my super yacht creates massive emissions but my personal emissions are nothing compared to 7 billion people's emissions - so why should I reduce mine if the masses won't reduce theirs"

The slaves in your metaphor would be common people like you and me who will have to live with the restrictions the elites put on us.
