While the environmental impact of AI is absolutely horrible I don’t think it is even in the top 10 of industries. Meat production, Transportation by cars, Airplanes, plastic products etc are all much worse.
The problem is AI is absolutely useless for how big its climate impact is. The other industries at least provide value.

Your opinion isn’t invalid, it’s just incomplete
