We already know of solutions to meet our climate goals. What more can A.I. offer? Unless it produces drones or robots that will assassinate whomever goes against enforcing these known solutions (alternative energy sources and minimization of oil dependence), it'll just be an energy hog.

It's a techbro/bazinga version of gambler brain. Risk more, spend more, risk more, spend more to make up for what was already risked and spent away.

None of these death cultists would accept even the most fabulous "AI" saying "stop making 'AI' shit" as the answer, especially if such a machine said "you shouldn't have built this in the first place."

Kill bots for protestors and resistance fighters, and surveillance tech. That's the actual real world use of ai.

low-key the AI scandals have probably been taken advantage of to get people spooked of it and avoid this outcome. The pentagon wargamed out to this time, and their most realistic threat was what they literally called "Gen Zbellion". Old men understand neither young people nor computers, and their powers combined terrify them.

Nothing because it just regurgitates already existing things. Unless this guy is bazinga enough to think sentient AI is just around the corner, throwing more energy isn't going to accomplish anything.
