Sage Lenier argues that AI products developed by tech firms are not only detrimental to the environment, but fundamentally offer no societal benefit, branding them as "useless".
Lenier emphasizes the critics’ view of technology companies transitioning away from what should be essential utilities to constructing merely "useless" product classes, thus creating an existential problem for themselves.
She believes that the technology sector's recent rush to introduce energy-intensive AI products directly contradicts commitments to climate targets, showcasing a disregard for ecological impact.
Lenier's advocacy for a circular economy underscores her frustration with the tech industry’s focus on creating more wasteful products instead of sustainable solutions.
