Zero is not a drop. Zero is zero. Zero times a hundred million is still zero.
And if we start talking in far off hypotheticals - buildout of green power AI datacenters can be even argued to be *good* for climate as their demand accelerates buildout of the green grid and they also push the non-green datacenters out of the market.
Sadly movie quotes (just like doomsday rethoric) are not good analogies for understanding complex topics.
However, here I do want to talk about this point very explicitly. If the core anti-AI argument is that "AI is destroying climate", then me showing examples of AI development and usage that are *not* destroying the environment is sufficient evidence to prove that this statement is wrong.
No single drop thinks it caused the flood (from the film mayhem)
