This is actually part of government propaganda to discredit cryptocurrencies.
Lemmy servers consume energy too and half of the content is memes, i don't see anyone complaining about it.
You can't begin to imagine just how much energy cryptocurrencies use. A web server can never come close.
but AI model training can.
Pretty sure people have been shitting on AI pretty heavily as well, partly for those reasons (but also for several others).
