To those that are saying AI is proving to be an S Curve: can we reassess the energy usage / climate mitigation tradeoff of AI?

Proponents of AI’s massive infrastructure and energy usage has been justified by saying it’s a moonshot to find solutions to climate cataclysm.

Numerous comments on Reddit have declared gpt 5 to indicate more of an S curve than a takeoff.

Bracketing that debate, if we are seeing a falloff in advancement, does this mean AI is still worth the tradeoff in energy use vs finding climate solutions?
