The environmental impact would still be as bad, it would still spout out misinformation, it would still scrape for art against people’s will, the images would still be shit and not art anyway, and would still make an intellectual sinkhole.
If society isn’t built around competition and exploitation, the usage of AI can be limited to renewable energy. Whereas now, every gram of hydrocarbon and uranium will be burned to win the race for global domination.
I mean building out renewable energy still has a negative impact on the environment, whether it be silicon for solar panels or concrete for hydro electric dams. Not to mention all the water that gets used to cool the massive data centers or the materials needed to create the computer components used in the data center. So sure you could lessen the environmental impact by shifting to renewables but it would definitely still be there. Reducing usage will always be the best way to help the environment, there’s a reason it comes first in Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Great you ignored my other issues with that, but also you don’t think people would collectively be using those resources? Also the water used for those ai servers isn’t great.
Hate this dumbass meme. All of the worlds datacenters only use like 3% of our energy. You can do more by skipping one shopping weekend than entire lifetime of AI use.
Completely untrue.

I agree with your other points.
It depends on the type of society if people use all those resources. With AI they will use them much, much faster.
Water doesn’t have to be a problem in places where there is enough water.
sadly there isn’t enough.
prove it
Ok cool make a true communist society and then I can.
