AI adoption in US adds ~900,000 tons of CO₂ annually, study finds

A new study published in Environmental Research Letters finds that continued growth in artificial intelligence (AI) use across the United States could add approximately 900,000 tons of CO₂ annually. This is not a small amount but equates to a relatively minor increase when viewed in the context of nationwide emissions.

🤣 Ah yes, the age-old question: can an #AI compile code even older than the average TikTok user? 🕰️ Apparently, we're supposed to be impressed that our digital overlords are now tackling 'dependency hell'—because nothing screams innovation like revisiting your grandpa's #coding nightmares. 🔧💥

Ah, the joys of clicking through endless pop-ups and mindlessly obeying our robotic overlords 🤖. Now, not only do we mindlessly follow the instructions of our vacuous digital taskmasters, but we must also endure their unsolicited advice on coding best practices 💻. Truly, the era of AI is here to redefine #efficiency by making us all glorified button-pushers! 😂
