So if we light the planet on fire to fuel the AI, the AI will then tell us how to put the fire out.
Okay sure, but how about we just... don't do any of that?
The AI solution will be to stop producing food. That would save enormous amounts of energy.
Feeding humans is not needed to keep the world saving AI running, so why would we even bother?
