There is no "could" here. AI is algorithms on a computer. Powerful ones, maybe, but that's all. Accountability lives with those who build data centers, or those who plug the computer into a robot body or nuclear plant. Stop letting them dodge responsibility.

Saying "just buy an EV if you hate high gas prices" to poor people makes climate activists look out of touch. Those who are most impacted by high gas prices can't afford $20k+ on a vehicle and charger. I certainly can't, so let's keep that in mind before we shame people for not going electric.
