You can go ahead and assume that it's not. All that's necessary is for other people to think there is and to therefore continue to pile resources into these things while connecting them to more systems.
Now you can respond to the substance, please. I'll tee it back up for you:

That's actually a great example. Massive resources have been poured into the automobile, they have a massive environmental, health, and social impact, and it is not clear at all too me the auto industry has been a net positive.
In a sense, yes, cars accelerating blindly into the future has been a massive vector in human civilization for a 100 years now. Something went rogue alright. The elites.
Anthropomorphizing technology merely distracts us from that fact. The same thing is happening with data centers now. Hence my frustration, which might have been poorly communicated and it is making me behave and communicate emotionally but I feel strongly about the exploitation of planet and people by a tiny minority.
Not sure if you're willfully missing the point. This has literally nothing to do with whether cars or AI are actually valuable.
You do not need to anthropomorphize anything. You need to look at the actual incentives in the system, that's it. You can go ahead and stop at "the elites are causing all this! If only the elites were different!" but the reality is a lot of people see immense promise in these tools. That's why OpenAI and Anthropic have two of the fastest growth trajectories of any business in history.
Just trying to convince people they're wrong about their value perception is absolutely a losing proposition and will not de-risk anything at all on any dimension.
