    Tech companies make the case that AI, including tools such as ChatGPT, is not only partially causing climate change, it’s also helping to address it.

    In the case of Google, that could mean using data to predict future flooding, or making traffic flow more efficiently, to save gasoline.

    Sounds like a fallacy. It’s a significant 13% year-to-year increase in pollution, with the hope of a future, potential, slim reduction in gasoline usage.
