You're missing the point so hard it's not even funny.
The datacenters hosting the internet are not the same datacenters hosting AI.
The ones hosting AI are the problem. Eliminate those, and the ones hosting the internet are fine (although could still convert to greener practices like on-site solar and closed-loop/greywater cooling systems, etc.).
Eliminate the internet datacenters and the AI corps are still going to destroy the environment, you just won't have access to wikipedia or the fediverse.
yea no
you wanna ignore what is actual reality and play pretend go for it but i’m not interested in hearing about it
They were being nice, but since you insist on persisting in your willfull ignorance: you're a fucking idiot who does not understand how the internet works nor how data centers are involved with it. Your straw man argument that 70% of the internet are bots is sourced by your ass, from whence you pulled it.
zzzz moron

crawl your ass out from under that rock
Wow, you really are braindead. No one here is arguing against there being an enormous amount of bot traffic. Learn to interpret what you read.
and yet when we’e not 5 replies deep your in the negatives, i think plenty of people get it even if you don’t
You're getting ratioed harder than me if you really wanna bring that up
because it’s the same 3 idiots this far down
Nah, you're the only idiot left on the chain here. Enjoy your prize, you're special.
Yeah, you you and you. You were in the negatives by your fourth comment down. Literally one of my comments has been downvoted by anyone besides you. You're encroaching upon the border of delusional.
