You must be blind.
There is nothing inherently dirty in the AI technolgies or datacenters
in general.

Etc. pp.
Just because weak oversight in USA allows *a few* bad apples cut all
the
corners and power their AI datacenters with gas turbines or old coal
power
plants does not mean that *all* AI is dirty and damaging to the
environment.
You must have your head very deep down in the sand to not see all the
news about the various datacenter / ai companies planning ever larger
"factories". With extra coal/gas power plants just for them. Larger
values of those for single data centers than needed to run whole
countries on this world (and notan under-developed country even). Lots
of them companies entirely ditching their "green it" plans (however they
named their plans to go co2-neutral, whatever one may think about those
plans in general).
That is, for sure, entirely imagined by everyone, right?
I'm sure there are ways how the whole AI thing could be run in something
that more people would label as "useful, acceptable" and not "world
burning sh*t". I'm also sure that the amount of such AI currently is a
not-measurable, statistically insignificant amount of it all.
