You can think what you want about the technological achievements (or lack thereof) of generative AI. Whether or not ChatGPT is "intelligent" or even useful isn't the thing we should focus on.
The thing we need to focus on is whether it will help us bring about the changes in the world that we need to see happen. Will it reduce our carbon output? Will it mitigate extreme weather? Is it sustainable? Does it help defend democracy? Reduce inequality? Help the homeless?
The answer is no.
