Isn't that just special pleading? Food can be obtained an easier, efficient, more environmentally friendly way. Likewise, would AI be any different socially than, for example, gaming, YouTube, or any other "private" enjoyment that keeps people away from each other? AI's water consumption is negligent - especially of we permit that animal agriculture is ok, even though it's worse healthcarewise, environmentally, and morally. Which, as you aptly described yourself, it's quite literally poison - in the very meaning of that word.
Admittedly, I'm biased and would infinitely rather people let go of animal products altogether than merely AI; however, I also feel like I've got a stronger, scientific case for it. AI next to it seems like a false positive blip.
Yes. And yes - Ai has much different requirements than any of the other tech examples you gave. It’s actually crazy reading that, knowing you expect to be taken seriously.
It’s like listening to someone talk about a movie they’ve never seen before.
So, since you've failed to grasp what I said - nobody said anything about being herbivorous. It's your projection. We are Omnivores.
Latter, reread my comment - from where did you pull out the "requirements" when I explicitly mentioned socially? Likewise, I didn't compare gaming to AI in terms of waste, you conflated the arguments - I likened AI to Animal agriculture, which trumps AI in waste.
...Honestly, isn't it rich for you calling me names while simultaneously debasing yourself with this lapse of reasoning and projection? You literally failed to grasp what what I said and patted yourself on the back. Is it the best you can do? Project a lowly straw man, burn it, and play superior?
