Artificial Intelligence (AI) is basically defined as the field of science concerned with building computers and machines that can reason, learn, and act in such a way that would normally require human intelligence or that involves data whose scale exceeds what humans can analyze.
The energy consumption is certainly a large concern but there is also the concern that machines and programs that provide answers are controlled by the owner of the AI model(s) therefore subject to biases as we watched with X/Twitter. It is no longer a free space to exchange information.

Just a more powerful weapon to lead us on the road to perdition.
