    That's an easy question. First, people will forget how to do anything and become highly dependent on AI. That's already happening. I already see people not able to finish their work without AI. Then, once everything has become a "pay to do" business model (I know right, the wet dream of any CEO) we will be happy to pay to write code, write docs, do a presentation. We will pay both in money and environmental costs.

    The last step is to just keep doing what we are doing with the environment. Let's not bother doing anything to reduce climate change.

    Just sit and relax boys
