Yes, obviously AI is emitting way too much. It shouldn't even be producing 0.2% of global emissions, let alone 2%. My main grievance is that no one ever talks about improving industrial and agricultural processes even though they produce around 29% of emissions and 20% of emissions respectively.

Just like the meat industry

So you're saying that the thing humans have been doing since we learned to sharpen a stick, literally thousands of years... Is unnecessary?

    Today, yes. And especially the shape of it. Just like with LLM the problem would be a lot smaller if it was done in moderation, withethical practices and the lives and well-being of those involved in mind. 

    Both meat and LLMs have use cases, and both needs to tone down on the shitty practices and world destroying emissions.
