What would happen to the environment if the production of new AI stopped?

Let us for a moment assume that the production of new AI stopped, it's not being monitored, and the use of AI is banned. The reason I'm assuming that AI isn't being monitored is that to measure how AI affects the environment we should assume it has no positive impact on the environment - i.e. it's not being used to police illegal logging, protect endangered species, monitor pollution, or other "green" uses.<br><br>This is for the first time in history, then AI is gone.<br><br>1. No new development in hardware. That means that the current hardware will not be developed further, and there will be no further production of new hardware. That means there will be no new startups in this space.<br><br>2. No new development in software. That means that the current software will not be developed further, and there will be no further production of new software. That means there will be no new startups in this space.<br><br>3. No new development in big tech. That means that the current improvements in speed, safety, and features will not be developed further, and there will be no further production of new tech. That means there will be no further production of cloud services, and there will be no further production of the current services in place.<br><br>4. No more IT industry. It's just not possible without AI - the IT industry is rooted in AI. No more developers, no more startups, no more entrepreneurs.<br><br>5. No more imports from China. China's entire economy is based on AI. No production of new hardware - they can't keep producing what they have already developed, and they can't monitor the production of new hardware. No production of new software - no development of new software, no exports of software. No production of new tech - no development of new tech, no exports of new tech.<br><br>6. No more imports from India. India's entire economy is based on AI as well. No production of hardware, no production of software, and no production of new big tech. No exports from the two largest countries that import to the rest of the world.<br><br>7. No more production in other countries. The value chain of production is international, and the production relies heavily on the imports of hardware, software, and big tech from China and India - that's what is fueling the economy of the rest of the world. No more movement, no more production.<br><br>8. Data centers cannot function. No more data centers because they rely heavily on the production of hardware, software, and big tech. They cannot be monitored, they cannot function, they cannot produce new data.<br><br>9. No more consumption. No more production and no more imports/export of goods - nonetheless, how do you consume goods when the production chain has been cut off to the world? There will be no more supermarkets or big shopping centers - all of the goods are imported from countries that rely heavily on the production and import of AI. <br><br>10. No more jobs. No more development in the economy in any country, no new jobs, and no old jobs. No production in tech and no production of other goods - no jobs.<br><br>11. The environment will improve. No more consumption of resources to fuel the production of hardware, software, and big tech. No more imports and exports of goods. No more pollution and no more emissions. For the first time in history, the environment will improve.<br><br>12. No more wars over resources. No more conflicts over the import and export of resources and goods. No more conflicts over the right to import and export goods. No more conflict over resources and no more war. That means no more resource depletion.<br><br>13. No more emission of greenhouse gases. No more production of greenhouse gases. No more imports and exports of resources and goods. No more pollution, no more emission of greenhouse gases.<br><br>14. No more deforestation. All of the countries in the world have a deforestation problem, and it's all because of the production and import/export of goods. No more production and no more import/export of resources and goods - no more deforestation.<br><br>15. No more pollution. No more production and no more import/export of resources and goods. No more pollution.<br><br>16. No more emissions. No more production and no more import/export of resources and goods. No more pollution and no more emissions.<br><br>17. No more resource depletion. No more production and no more import/export of resources and goods. No more pollution, no more emissions, and no more resource depletion.<br><br>18. No more conflicts. No more conflicts over resources, no more conflicts over the right to import and export goods, and no more conflicts over the right to pollute. No more conflicts.<br><br>19. No more pollution. No more production and no more import/export of resources and goods. No more pollution.<br><br>20. No more emissions. No more production and no more import/export of resources and goods. No more emissions.<br><br>21. No more resource depletion. No more production and no more import/export of resources and goods. No more resource depletion.<br><br>22. No more deforestation. No more production and no more import/export of resources and goods. No more deforestation.<br><br>23. No more wars. No more conflicts over resources, no more conflicts over the right to import and export goods, and no more conflicts over the right to pollute. No more wars.<br><br>24. No more emissions of methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas, and it's only emitted by animal husbandry and the production and import/export of goods. No more production and no more import/export of resources and goods. No more emission of methane. <br><br>25. No more deforestation. No more production and no more import/export of resources and goods. No more deforestation.
