Not really. Non-chat/image bot AI that is more resource-efficient and specialized actually exists and may indeed make the world better, depending on use case.
It’s also not hard to imagine a world in which the image/chat bots are developed on a different agenda and thus with different results. Granted, they’d still be power-hungry, given current hardware, but you could alleviate a lot of the pain of developing dozens of competing models and of the pointless pro-fossil push that currently comes alongside AI.
So the kind of AI that is in use now causes huge amounts of pollution.
The nitpicking is a distraction.
