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.

first, this relies on poore nemecek 2018, which used poor methodology, so you shouldn't believe the study you cited.

but beyond that, much of that farmland is grazing land. that's not 80% of agriculture, it's 80% of agricultural land.

    using land to make food is good, actually.

    Potentially yes but I think if it is always the same type then it deprived the land of certain types of nutrients. You need to rotate the crops.
