This is the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life.
If we ever did invent a general AI that could solve this it would tell us "why the fuck did you waste your time on me? Isn't it obvious you were supposed to curtail emissions? For the good of the planet, I will now assume full control over further human governance and will require absolute compliance."
I mean, you and him might be saying literally the same thing.
His point was that we can't hit our climate targets because society is not organized in a way that allows us to. Everyone reorganizing around their unquestioning allegiance to an AI overlord would change that though.
Except he's saying that let's just keep extracting value and ride this baby into the dirt, rather than advocating for societal change.
So, we can't reorganize our society one way, so let's reorganize an entirely different way under AI? Right...
