That's where I can't agree with you. I'd say we need to produce the same amount of energy while trying to have more efficient devices.
That's also why I'm asking what AI could bring to humanity. If it brings us ways to save energy and have enough food for a growing population, then I'd consider it. But for now, from what I know, it's just creating a new need when we are already consuming way too much and destroying our planet.
Instead of creating new needs, we should try to live with less, while still enjoying life.
Cars getting bigger and heavier is clearly true, but they are also consuming less (at least for ICE cars) than before. My Seat Leon Cupra is drinking way less fuel than my old Audi S4 Avant while being more spacious inside. I'm also sure that at one point we're gonna start having smaller and more efficient electric cars because not everyone wants a huge SUV.
