   This "AI is ruining the internet" is funny, infuriatingly and depressingly correct.

   Well, except for one (actually) tiny detail, ALL the "tech" people I follow are strongly and loudly worried about AI's dangers to human society, etc. The people described as "tech" people are just AIdolizers with AIdiotic public stances that may genuinely wreck everything, starting with the poorest and otherwise most vulnerable people.

     Google and Microsoft now consume more electricity than >100 countries
     https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/microsoft-and-googles-electricity-consumption-surpasses-the-power-usage-of-over-100-countries
     So that's about half. There are 193 UN member States.

     AI, AI aiii, climate change is accelerating. Not intelligent at all.

     Also, all the progress that we may have been, or intended to be, doing regarding decreasing energy consumption to save our livable habitat from being eradicated by climate change,
     is currently being entirely wiped out by the new AI-farm server halls with VASTLY increased electricity consumption that recently have and will soon be built, to the point that they build entirely new power plants dedicated to just a server hall each because the general power grids can't handle their demands.

     So yeah, it's not just the killing of art and trust in any remote human-to-human communication, experiences and education, but there's also pure survival as a species.
     Cool, huh?
