People are also concerned about the amount of energy going into AI. But still, there is a major difference between AI and Bitcoin. With AI, the more power we put in the more we get out. That might be in the form of more accurate output, longer output, or larger context windows. With Bitcoin, more power going into the calculations just makes the calculations harder so the amount of useful work stays exactly the same. The calculations themselves have no use other than to waste time and power.
