Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to tax AI because it was "trained on generations of human knowledge." Her plan proposes a per-kilowatt-hour excise tax on AI data center energy consumption, paired with a wealth tax on billionaires like Bezos and Altman. The bigger the data center, the more you pay. image

She clearly did not use AI to workshop these ideas. These came directly from her big-state/corp "donators" (handlers).

The energy tax creates perverse incentives - it punishes efficiency improvements and pushes AI development to countries with cheaper energy, not necessarily cleaner grids. A carbon tax would achieve environmental goals without handicapping US competitiveness in the most strategic technology race of our time.
