Kinda offtopic: I really like the main idea of this article, but the contents are really generic and feel like they were generated from the heading alone.

Generic call to AI regulation and vague statements like "undermine efforts to promote responsible consumption" - like what does that even mean?

Like the whole article is basically filler... I dunno...

The main idea behind the sustainability concept is that when left unchecked AI can and will fill not just our digital world, but our physical world with junk. Especially when the inevitable use of AI product generation comes about.

I did think about generating the article, but decided against it.

But how can it fill the physical world if there are no consumers buying the products?

Presumably this is pre-post end stage capitalism and the AI politburo isn’t in charge of who gets the meme T-shirt allocations so someone has to actually decide the shirt has more value to them than whatever is being charged. Absent this the company is just making ideas that nobody wants and will eventually run out of money to pay the power bill for the AI.

So, to summarize, the company is either providing value to customers or will go bankrupt like every other business in the history of the world.
