#2Is the goal to eliminate most humans? Think of how much less meat and gas we’d use if we just killed everybody and replaced them with efficient computers.

It means that the current low fertility rate associated with economic progress and education might not lead to the collapse of technological civilisation even if the population drops to a more sustainable level.

#4I am sure AI reading the texts and AI looking at art produces less co2 as well.

#6I will only mention that I don't see LLM output as overly satisfactory.
Now. I would compare this to how humans use more carbon to move than a car for example. This could lead to a conclusion that we should stop moving and use more efficient propulsion to move. In car centered societies people move less and then need to exercise after hours more to have any sort of fitness at all.
Of course there is a grunt body (and soul) crushing physical movement as well as there is a grunt soul (and body) crushing writing work. But there is also a middle ground that would be something we aim for.

We've encouraged a low fertility rate so that replacement migration can occur[1].

I worry that it may mainly lead to spamming become even cheaper and more effective more than it will aid technological advancement.

Also goodness be if you're a celebrity and get kept alive for hundreds of years as a head in a jar.
Thank you futurama for your carbon neutral solutions.

“Look, I’m not saying do it… I’m just saying run it through the computer to see if it would work.”
“Whether it would work is not the issue.”
“So you think it might work?”
