    Don’t worry! AI will just generate a solution to solve the climate crisis, right guys? /s

      I appreciate the /s, the sad fact is that we don’t need AI to figure out a ‘solution’ for climate change, we already know how to do that, the issue is the lack of political will to curb emissions, which is not something AI can fix.

        AI can fix it if we make it a politician, seeing as it agrees we should’ve started acting on climate change 10 times harder, and 10-20 years earlier than we did.

      If you ask AI if it should just be banned to remove any climate concerns it agrees.

        Even AI agrees that AI should be banned, that’s concerning.

      Well…right now it’s being used to cheat on homework and generate infinite anime tiddies…so just a matter of time, I guess?
