I think absent unlimited clean energy, "AI" is probably always going to stink like the planet-killer it is.
I suppose it's possible some unforeseen utility is worth the energy expenditure, social and economic disruption, and widespread larceny needed to "train" it, but I'm highly skeptical.
But it seems clear that "being normal" about energy intensive technology with highly suss value during the accelerating climate catastrophe is to see it as evil AF.
