AI Will Change our Lifestyle and Landscape

To the Editor:

Hello. I would like to respond to the recent artificial intelligence article.

First and foremost, I know my neighbors and citizens of Fayette County are super proud citizens. I know we are not just little bitty country bumpkins who just farm and ranch, feed livestock, garden and bale hay. And, if highlydegreed, college-educated believe they can deceive or misinform rural citizens, they will now have to back up.

With that being said, the simple truth about artificial intelligence “facilities” that wish to locate in rural areas is because they take an ungodly amount of water to cool the computer systems. The highly compacted cities are not an option for these centers.

My suggestion to the highly ·intelligent persons behind the incredibly wealthy and powerful companies that have their eyes bulging and mouths watering on vast, open, prime real estate in Fayette County or any rural county should be ashamed to try to deceive or mislead rural communities should be ashamed. I hope my words do get approval for print so they will be enlightened that many of us know the real truth.

With many good friends of all kinds of wealth, knowledge, backgrounds, faiths, cultures, ethnicities and vast political views, I can personally attest that my closest friends who are computer genius, highly intelligent gurus in the computer world we are headed for dark times due to artificial intelligence.

You betcha, our rural pace and lifestyle will change. You betcha, we will lose control.

Selling out our highly sought land to powerful companies with intention to build an artificial intelligence center will severely and irreversibly damage Fayette County. God-Speed, Fayette County.
