It also leads to automation and efficiency, even if it isn’t a fully linear path.
AI isnt a waste. We can’t let environmental consciousness get in the way of rather natural human development. Especially CO2. (I have different opinions about biodiversity because of the irreversible loss. I also believe that we have the technology to pause and reverse climate change — but don’t pursue it because of degrowth ideologies)
Give some concrete examples and stats?

Ditto.
For _who_ really?
Shareholders of AI tools producing companies?
Shareholders of companies that pretend to replace people and verifiable working processes with poorly understood black boxes?
(I can't help but notice the _same_ playbook as with crypto, NFTs, Web3, metaverse, and the same enabling-hardware provider).
Value, automation, efficiency will not solve the climate change challenges, if they are not directed towards it aggressively, as well as humanity acceptance and well-being.
Alas, they are directed towards a very little few bank accounts. Violence and subjugation, in many of their forms, is directed towards the others. It's not by accident.
While “economic value” =/= “solving climate change” without enough tax revenue costly transitions are impossible.
It's revealing that for some, it's easier to imagine Earth without life than Earth without capitalism.
