He went a step further, suggesting the online backlash isn’t entirely organic.
“If you look at the social media around the Utah proposal, much of it is AI-generated,” he said, calling that “hypocritical.”
Sounds like he is blaming online opposition as AI. The protesters in person are ‘paid actors’ or something.
Ah thanks for clarifying! I agree, though I read it like the opposition is AI generated, so not real, and this can be dismissed.
I…. Doubt it is, tbh. I mean, maybe people are creating bots to boost the message, but AI datacenter opposition is largely organic, people don’t have monetary gain to oppose them, it’s because they destroy the planet, and surrounding community. The noise and light pollution, greenhouse gas emissions from the power, and in most cases, water use. This case the article does mention ‘air cooling’

Okay. The protesters aren’t AI, just the memes.
And I should point that hypocrisy doesn’t mean wrong.
I’m unclear on your point about hypocrisy?
He’s saying that using AI to oppose an AI datacenter is hypocritical.
I’m saying it could be, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

I feel like it’s more hypocritical to be against using AI to protest AI data centers.
Not a fan, but this seems like this guy wants his cake and to eat it too.
