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.

I'm actually telling the facts and you're the one being detached from reality, but normally people like you are "not interested in hearing about it" anyway, so I'm honestly not surprised you say that.

I'm done arguing with you for the same reason I don't debate climate change deniers.
