    Difference being AC per capita uses a shitload more energy than AI does per capita. Also in AI, the costly part is done once and is done till a new model gets trained. AC is on 24/7.

      AC typically provides real value. (Not counting when people air condition empty rooms, but that’s also a thing corporations typically do more).

      AI is often worthless or counter productive.

        That’s your opinion. Fact is that AI is used worldwide by lots of people to great success. It doesn’t work everywhere, it isn’t “a tool to end all tools”, but saying AI is worthless when using air conditioning isn’t, is straight up false, especially if you take into account how much power is used by people / businesses using AC and how much power is used by AI.
