I know all AI is an ecological hazard and none of its use cases aside from very narrow medical and scientific applications justify using it at all.

People have been eating meat longer than humans have had languages. Your whataboutism is boring and irrelevant. Just because there are other, larger, necessary steps to take doesn’t mean we need to act as unpaid apologists for technocultists shooting our species in the foot while we try to get there. Fuck your AI.
