If they complained about the training, they would have a point. But they don’t. They complain about anything of AI. Even if it has revolutionized things like protein folding in medicine.

Even if you add a zero to AI’s CO2 emissions and water usage, it’s still a drop in the bucket compared to eating beef or taking a flight for holiday
