So their AI refused to actively contribute to increasing global warming, and people are calling this "woke" and say it's a bad thing? Some people just don't like any kinds of ethics and morals at all I guess. When I was young and watched Saturday morning cartoons, charterers with such beliefs were referred to as "evil", but I guess the preferred term nowadays is "anti-woke".

1. Can you think of other things you would want to query an AI on that "increases global warming" (i.e. ultimately most things humans can do)? Should it be possible to learn about things that could increase global warming?

2. Do you want Google decide ethical or moral questions or should that be left to the individuals? How far should those corporate AIs interfere with human thinking and decisionmaking?
