they burn up the climate as in the energy wasted to make and play them, or is this a thing?
The production definitely plays a role, but it's the huge datacenters for tracking you across the internet and even when not actively browsing. They track as much as they can.
What website you're visiting, when you're visiting it, how long do you stay on it, what you click on, what other website you're coming from, your browser settings, operating system, VPN, IP address, even your mouse movements.
Your phone records a lot more. Google and Amazon listen to your conversations. The Facebook app scans your phone contact list, so they have my phone number even without me consenting to it.
These servers are built to invade the privacy of hundreds of millions of people and that eats up a lot energy and water.
When upset about AI datacenters, never forget that the advertising industry is polluting about just as bad. And of course, now ads are being combined with AI as well, so make that double.
