If they were using renewable energy then they would be taking renewable energy from projects that are much more important for our daily survival.Exactly ... the problem with AI is that it's wasting energy.Then there is another problem, which is that a lot of our energy comes from sources that cause pollution. The wasting of energy would not be that significant of a problem if enough clean energy was available. They are not the same. Just related.
Feels more like the fossil fuel industry would be quite happy with people pointing fingers at AI for the more fundamental problem they are causing.
That is fundamentally a problem with using polluting power sources, not AI. AI is just wasting huge amounts of power, but that wouldn't nearly be as big of a problem with clean power sources.
