The planet was already on a course for death before we figured out how to make useful brain analogues on silicon hardware. Also, if and when we shift completely to carbon neutral power, the amount of electricity that AI consumes (which will only go down as processing becomes increasingly more power efficient) won't matter

"useful brain analogues" is doing a heck of a lot of heavy lifting there. I'd almost say it's a load-bearing error.
