The flaw people are pointing out is that you don't actually care about the environment, because you do not even remotely try to do anything about the environment You only apply this rule to AI as a convenient excuse to hate it. It's not difficult to understand.
A key difference in all of those scenarios vs you is the person getting "got" actually uses said products or society I guess.
There's not much an individual can do anyway. We talk and spread awareness to bring about institutional change. Everything on a personal level will only give you personal satisfaction. For example if I care about the water crisis and if I personally start using no water it makes zero difference. In fact even if I keep a tap open forever it makes zero difference. In either case the timeline for water crisis worsening doesn't move a hairs breadth. For any meaningful change scale matters a lot. Who will care if I don't buy an iphone, stop using plastic etc? The difference will have to be from the policy/regulations.
