Capitalism will fix this (bizarrely). Making AI more efficent (read more profitable) is on LOTS of peoples minds right now.

Whether it's more efficent chips, better algorithms or whatever, rest assured, LOTS of effort is going into it.

Our environment will still be destroyed, but it won't be AI that does it, just boring greed
