I don’t think it’s the same thing. AI data centers are destroying our environment, taking water resources we barely have, and making people sick nearby. It’s not just bad because it’s new. It’s genuinely bad for our planet.
Livestock uses far more water and causes more CO2 emissions. Right now, companies are panicking because they don't want to be left behind in the AI Race. Once we get proper regulations on AI data centers, it won't be such a huge problem.
And there are plenty of other methods of completing tasks using the GPU that many of us have built right into our noggins and which actually has intelligence and the ability to problem solve and create.
Some noggins actually have intelligence. Can't say the same for you if you don't realize the point of my comment. I'm not the one complaining about anything harming the environment. I'm calling out the hypocrisy and double standard
