Not that I necessarily believe it, but isn't the rationale that technology allows us to scale without the need for additional humans? A bit in the same way that oil provides us many multiples of manpower?

So for example, if AI can replace the need for additional humans, then overall we're using net less energy?

The rationale I've heard is that AGI is gonna come around any day now and will fix all our climate issues through its superior intellect.

Which seems like a very strenuous proposal to be betting the future of humanity on.
