If there were disciplines (like the humanities & social sciences) challenging AI's inevitability/social worth, wouldn't it be convenient if at the same time as companies pushed for AI's expansion, seemingly credible people published a report 'proving' that said disciplines were biased & invalid?

Just announced: OpenAI plans to lease a 9.2 gigawatt 100% fossil-fuelled data centre on Ohio.
Its emissions will be between 20 - 37 MTCO2-e - somewhere between the total grid emissions of France -> Netherlands
As much GHGs as 9.5 average coal plants. Will raise US total emissions by 0.5%
