I think the fact that these systems are so damaging to the environment is enough to render them largely useless to humanity in the long term.
Because of the way society runs, everything we do is tremendously damaging to the environment unfortunately. The upside of that is that people who want to automate labour have a lot of carbon budget to work with e.g. keeping people off roads and out of offices and such. With algorithmic and hardware efficiencies that are already slated we may end up saving energy in the near future.
There's nothing we can really do to stop these systems from being utilized either, anymore than we can ban gaming hardware (based). But it's sort of a prisoners dilemma like military spending.
