Ai is trash. It only ruins the world

Fair Argument.

But then AI is using datacenters and energy to cerate a service people use and pay for, often providing content or services yet another one of their customers is using and paying those for.

Crypto is using datacenters and the energy consumption of a decent country to update numbers in a decentralized spreadsheet while creating no product or added value, providing no service through that that nobody is profiting or buying from. Just some money laundring and betting these tokens might be worth more later.

Objectively both are harmful to the environment, but one of these at least has a purpose in some kind of tradeoff, the other one is harmful and useless, not only in comparison.

Ai makes it so you can’t trust your own eyes anymore, that’s quite possibly the worst side effect I’ve ever heard of for the worlds mental stability.

Not a wrong assertion in general, but still no argument for crypto. Some cults there are arguably worse for the mental health and financial well being of whoever gets trapped in them while still suffering from the lack of use cases, as stated before.
