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.

Considering that several companies are planning on using nuclear power to run ai data services, instead of providing power to cities.

How is Amazon Using Nuclear to Power AI & Reach Net Zero?

I'm pro-nuclear power, but why not use those reactors and replace fossil fuel sites instead? We don't ai to consume that much power, which in turn requires morec graphite/uranium/thorium mining, which causes direct environmental damage
