It seems basic logic like this doesn't actually work on these people. Most really can't get their heads around the fact that energy costs money and companies want to use less of it wherever possible and practical to do so.
The mob is fickle, brother.
The hive mind has concluded AI=bad and any comment that doesn't go along with the consensus is going to get downvotes.
It's really not that different from the beginning of the industrial revolution, when cotton mills first started to implement the spinning jenny, leaving many workers out of a job who'd go in to the factories at night to smash the machines up.
No one wants to go back to spinning cotton all day now though and it will be the same with jobs taken by AI.
