AI is not going to come op with a solution and he knows it.

Especially since the solutions are already here, but rich people just don't like them since it implies the loss of their power

"Alright, let's turn on the AI Mega-Thinker 3000 ^TM^ and see what it says about solving climate change."

INVEST IN RENEWABLE ENERGY AND OVERTHROW THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS

"...well that can't be right."

AGI: bZzt my calculations say you should stop consuming as much energy and move onto green energy generation

Rich people: no, not like that

I keep meaning to do the scroll of truth meme but it’s him and the scroll is AI and it says “stop burning fossil fuels”

Nyyeegghh!

AI: "Have you tried funding public transport and regulating the carbon industry?"

Ok, now we need to make a new AI so that AI can solve global warming but without using an existing solution that might marginally inconvenience the mega rich.

This guy… he’s untouchably wealthy and people bow to him like a god everywhere he goes now. I think this really twists a person’s brain - at the very least it puts him out of touch. He probably has almost no idea what he’s talking about anymore.
