Please actually read the article before downvoting me into oblivion, or debunk it before just shouting AI = BAD I'm also against AI for privacy reasons, but can we please stop pretending that it's destroying the environment.

I think most people would argue 1-3% of datacenter use is still a significant global pollution factor that is a problem.

Fair, but people are shouting that AI is destroying the planet, and pretending like it's worse than cars or beef or flights.

Which weakens actuall reasons to be anti-AI

Many of us dislike all the things you listed for their impact, including AI.
