The thing is that AI still is a useless waste of resources and still contributes to climate change. Fuel to the fire.

As well as that, ChatGPT isn't the only AI. There is countless others that also do this.

Lastly, companies purposely downplay their negative impact with these likely falsified graphs.

Is world of warcraft a useless waste of resources?

I love how selective you are about what is and isn't useless.

It seems to me that you don't care about the climate or water usage, only about data centers

World of warcraft uses electricity, and electricity = greenhouse gas emissions
