You don't find it weird that CNN frames it in an argument about greenhouse gas?

To me it's such an obvious appeal to certain groups. We're way past caring about wasting resources. We get rid of AI right now where are we left with? Nothing, nothing changes as far as wasting resources go. We don't fix anything removing it.

AI is practical and probably one of the most interesting developments with the potential to be a pretty big leveler if developed correctly.

But I think the problem is that because it can level playing field it's harmful to people who want to horde their power. So they have to use media to generate a lot of hate and angry towards it so we all reject it. Look at every AI headlines and replace AI with "immigrants" or "LGQTB" it's practically cut and paste. It's harassing women and children. It's taking our jobs. They're a waste of resources. They threaten your way of life.
