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.

I know about the suppression via data centres, which is why I was happy to hear Iran was bombing them.

There's still the matters of lay offs, noise pollution and loss of farmland because of AI.

While they suck in the short term in the long term lay offs are for the best since the goal is for all required labour for society to function to eventually be automated resulting in no one having to work to get by any more since robots will be taking care of everything. In general stuff like any noise pollution is incredibly minor compared to the actual major concerns surrounding AI so it would be for the best to focus more on the stuff that's really important.

Is the world ready for a Star Trek utopia (Starfleet is pretty fascist as well, but the chosen ones live well)

If robots and AI are doing all the work, will people still be motivated to learn any skills? Or are we all going to be spoiled children with robot nannies in this Utopian fantasy. How many robots are needed to serve 8.3 billion people, global workforce is about 3.7 billion people. How much power do 4 billion robots need on top of 8.3 billion people living in leasure.

8.3 billion people just looking to entertain themselves travelling to already overcrowded tourist destinations, nothing else to do. Besides that, human biology thrives on routine, which is school -> work right now. What is going to replace that structure. Human routines were based on farming / gathering before that. How will the human pshyche cope with nothing to do. Rise of pedophiles? Billionaires don't seem very stable people to me, but that's the lifestyle this 'Utopia' promises.

Anyway there's a coming food crisis to solve first, water crisis, energy crisis, all linked with climate change. Hoping AI will solve it all in time sounds defeatist to me. Don't want to tackle these problems head on, just keep building data centers and hope AI will solve our problems while only making them worse in the short term.

You want a world where everybody loses their job to automation? You realize what a dystopian nightmare that is? People can't buy houses without jobs. And then robots will see humans as effectively useless and destroy us all.

Thinking it'd be a dystopian nightmare cause people wouldn't be able to buy houses shows that you're unable to think beyond capitalism and envision a future world massively different than the present so no different than the people a long time ago who thought that feudalism was the best system there was ever gonna be. A future society where people are able to do whatever they want with their time cause robots are doing all required labour is a concept that has been thought about for a long time so equating envisioning that optimistic future with being paid off by AI companies is laughable.
