They're actually not, you've just bought into the mass hysteria that's currently being directed at them. Any negative environmental impacts from them are absolutely miniscule compared to the impact the meat industry is having so if you care this much about environmental harm it'd make a lot more sense to focus your efforts towards stuff like that instead.

It doesn't make taking drinking water, driving up electricity, driving up RAM and memory prices or taking farmland ok. Not to mention the mass layoffs.

Billionaires are the main reasons AI has become a bane of our existence.

As I've said before the water thing is basically a made up issue though yes there are indeed concerns but in terms of environmental harm specifically data centres are negligible compared to the actual major bad actors there. The actual major concerns surrounding AI is stuff like the potential for authoritarian regimes using it to retain power, its impact in warfare, how important it is that the first AGI and particularly the first ASI ends up being aligned right etc. Experts in the field of AI who are deeply concerned about it aren't talking about minor stuff like the environmental impact of data centres, they're talking about things like that.
