+1. The least we can argue is, well, you consume food and get calories that you need to survive as you said.
What does AI solve exactly? Putting some very limited usage of it in scientific fields aside, what do we really gain by using AI?
I'm old enough to experience the "evolution" of the internet, even 20 years ago, we had issues with bots, automated emails/scams making everybody's life unnecessarily difficult. Then came captcha, then cloudflare dominated the scene and is slowly becoming a monopoly, and surfing on the web is a hurdle in these days. Solve this, move this puzzle there so we can confirm you're not a bot, give us your phone number (that has no legal base, just a corporate policy) so we can IDENTIFY you and that you're not a robot. Then came 2FA causing people getting locked out of their accounts, then any mainstream company decided to get rid of their customer service agents because money and replace them with AI... The list just goes on.
Genuinely, why do we need AI in our fridges, wash machines, in everything? We just don't. It causes more issues than it helps.
