The fact that other human activities also damage the environment doesn't mean that the cumulative cost of AI as a whole isn't harmful though; the risk is that if big tech is allowed to go ahead with the number of data centres they want to built, then the cost will skyrocket, and not just in terms of environmental damage, but also in terms of driving up the cost of electronics, water, electricity, etc for ordinary people. |
So when are we supposed to start caring? I mean you dont seem to be very upset about the Switch 2 using AI upscaling. When does it become harmful? |
As I already stated, upscaling is one of the few positive use cases for AI. Technically you don't have to care at all, that's entirely up to you, I'm simply outlining why many people do care about the negative effects of AI as a whole.
