Today 22.4.2023, we celebrate the day of the only known habitable planet, our home Earth. The fact is this, even if there would be billions of species in space we are only humans in the universe. Other intelligent species might look similar to us. But they also not be humans. There could be billions of habitable planets in the universe, but still today, we have no technology to reach those planets. That means we must awake to handle things like pollution and global warming. The problem is that we have the knowledge to handle those things.
But we need the willingness to handle those problems. We know that our route will take us to doom. We have specialists who say that carbon emissions are one of the biggest reasons for that climate change. But then something is missing. Nobody even thinks about change.
The main question what would we expect about alien encounters and artificial intelligence? The general AI is one type of alien organism. And the description for the alien is the intelligent, non-human species. So humans also can create aliens by using genetic engineering. Or humans also can create another intelligent species simply by using computer code. What would we want from that creature?
If we ask something about the biggest problem on Earth, the AI would say that climate warming that caused by humans. The reason for that problem is the overuse of fossil fuels that release carbon into the atmosphere. And then the system might suggest a decrease in fossil fuel use. Maybe we would cut that AI off because we don't want to hear the answer. The main problem with Earth is humans. Overpopulation and other things are the worst things that we are facing.

When we are talking about things like remote work, those things would help to decrease carbon emissions. And they would keep streets open. But there are leaders, and some other people, who resist remote work because in those cases the person will not work 8 hours effectively. The main problem is that new things always cause some kind of friction. And that is one of the reasons for the resistance to those kinds of ideas.
"Man is wolf to man." Most of the reasons why humans are dying at a young age are caused by other human actions. Or more commonly, the man's behaviors. Things like violence but more often bad lifestyle like smoking, drinking alcohol, and eating too much fat causes health problems. So the man is a wolf to himself rather than other men. Of course, there are wars on Earth where people are dying. But the most common way to die is the use of alcohol and an unhealthy lifestyle.
When we are making things like AI that are very impressive, we don't renew systems that produce electricity. The production of the base energy is the problem. That system keeps the Western civilization rolling. And all Western systems require electricity. Without electricity, all nice computers and computer-based algorithms are a pile of sand.
