First of all, terrifying how that bunch of algorithms captured the tone of your voice for that opening paragraph. If AI Will called me and said he was in a Mexican jail and needed a $1000 to bribe the guard I'd be asking for Alejandro's venmo. You hit the nail on the head (good job, amoral hammer!) with the downsides of AI, and I'm adding it to the list of all the shitty stuff your generation and the next few are going to have to deal with. I'll be in my nursing home hoping the robot Nurse Ratcheds don't run a cost/benefit analysis and decide to smother me with a pillow.

I’m not going to judge AI right now. I’m sure it has some values as well as some downsides. I will say this: from what I’m reading AI data centers consume huge amounts of electrical power and the amount it will require grows exponentially as it develops. Seems like we will keep heating up our planet as AI use continues to develop and is used more and more.
