>And the economics were too compelling: AI content costs very little to produce in comparison to traditional video creation

The environmental costs are staggering. How can this be asserted straight-faced when these companies are building their own POWER PLANTS to fuel the ravenous energy needs of AI?

I read this as the cost per unit of video produced. Of course it costs a lot to build power plants but they will produce exponentially more videos, exponentially faster and it's all about scale.

Edit... And the tech companies are certainly not paying the environmental costs now are they?
