    Extreme oversimplification. Hammers don’t kill the planet by simply existing.

      And neither does AI? The massive data centers are having negative impacts on local economies, resources and the environment.

      Just like a massive hammer factory, mines for the metals, logging for handles and manufacturing for all the chemicals, paints and varnishes have a negative environmental impact.

      Saying something kills the planet by existing is an extreme hyperbole.
