The other day I was arguing with a colleague, & I said that I thought 95% of the funds getting thrown at AI would be better spent strengthening infrastructure to handle climate change. He said “AI will fix climate change.”

Now I think 100% of those funds should be redirected.

Colin the Mathmo reshared this.

How on Earth do they even try to argue that #AI will fix #ClimateChange / the #ClimateCrisis? Because it will be smarter than us, take over and fix all our stupid mistakes? 🤦‍♂️

Yep. AI might solve climate crisis by eliminating the cause: humans.

Clearly your colleague is someone who thinks we have actual AI, capable of actual understanding, instead of hyped-up content generators...
