In a very real sense, there is much to undo. They've already constructed many data centers with on site natural gas power generation with zero license, regulation, or oversight one of which produces enough energy to power something like 75% of Texas. Still though, it is not inevitable!

Nonsense

• Internet is here, there is no going back
• Quantum Physics are here, there is no going back
• Mobile Phones are here, there is no going back
• Electricity is here, there is no going back

Following the logic of the meme:

AI is here and cannot be regulated and limited, like also not big corps, billonairs, corrupt politicians.......

Technology cannot be uninvented, it cannot be blamed for the evil, self-interested and stupid use without law and rules that is given to them, bad habits, bad laws, and abuse isn't an valid simil to AI, but a human one.

They're like vogons.

But it is the future! A future filled with contaminated drinking water, and exponentially increasing heat.

We all thought it was going to go down with us fighting some Terminator robots or some shit, but... naw they're just poisoning and cooking us while we're distracted by our 9-5s.

Gonna seem real silly when the AI extinction bubble pops and all the survivors have to live locally on GPUs like they should have always been. Big fucking waste of everything.

That last panel may be true sooner than you think.

The most important difference is that "AI" doesn't actually exist.

So the comparisons to smoking, child labor, and the slave trade are not just silly. They're somewhat offensive.

The accuracy could be improved by using historical grifts like "theory of the humors" or similar. That's the analogy.

As it is, terrible meme.

You're telling me that a bunch of sociopathic nerds have trouble with consent? Color me shocked.

More like oil is already here…

And there is no going back because the rich WILL use it regardless.
