I imagine people making that claim accept air travel as useful and “AI”, really, all datacenters as not useful.
I’ve had people tell me oh, air travel is more efficient per mile that road travel.
But this ignores that people wouldn’t drive thousands of miles if it was not as easy as booking a flight.
Your article doesn’t even claim that. Do you have any idea just how carbon intensive a flight is?
300,000 liters of jet fuel to send one 747 across the Atlantic Ocean - one time.
For modern planes 70 - 90k liter… it’s bad enough, no need to exaggerate
As of July 2025, approximately 424 Boeing 747 aircraft are in active airline service
…and I take it they burn three hundred thousand litres to run the Atlantic as well?

Or a LLM query?
