No, but for me that's not the question. For me the question is will AI - at the moment LLMs - make the emissions problem better or worse. As demand for energy is growing exponentially to support LLM data centres, it seems likely LLMs will make the situation worse.

Yes, it will. But it also risks putting all of humanity’s hope into one basket. Innovation that shifts humanity off of fossil fuel is not being funded properly, despite what is perceived, despite X Prizes, and the like. That’s my concern.
