You're talking exactly the same way about AI that people talked about blockchain a few years ago. Smart Contracts were supposed to revolutionize the universe. All of your "too good to not use" stuff falls in the same camp.

We might as well keep drilling oil and pumping methane into the air because we started and we shouldn't stop. How else are those data centers going to work? This is progress for some reason.

Blockchain was supposed to be very good for a handful of things. Smart contracts were never going to revolutionize the world, maybe a couple industries. I did not care about block chain technology, it was too specific.

I can have a personal tutor give me a customized lesson plan for little to no cost. It can look at large amounts of code in little to no time.

Energy comes from other sources than oil and methane. The fact the US is not prioritizing those alternate methods is a different problem.

AI will get more efficient, it will get better with less energy and storage. I am not saying the tech bros are not problematic. I am saying their problems do not negate the reality of AI as a technology, and the things it has unlocked.

Nuclear fusion created both atomic weapons and nuclear energy. Somebody advocating for nuclear energy is not also advocating for more nuclear warheads.
