No, I’m correcting you on things that you are presenting as ground truths. I’m not missing anything, my comment only pertains to your two first sentences which are completely false.
You can make your point without lying and being a mouthpiece for the oil industry.
The negatives of ICE cars and EVs are not comparable. EVs are an important solution against climate change, ICE pollutes much more. One lithium battery is not the same as literally 10 years of directly burning oil, the rest of the car takes the same ressources to build in both cases.
Daily reminder that “batteries are the devil and EVs pollute just as much as ICE” is pure oil industry propaganda.
The watch dog group made a completely new filter for it.
Yes, the producers should be running all available filters and they did. This one simply wasn’t available.
They did run filters. The group that found the new ones made a completely new stronger filter that is better at detecting it. You can’t blame them for not using technology that just wasn’t available at the time. They also pulled the whole dataset the moment the group alerted them to it and removed them.
They are currently getting rid of them. It’s a database with 5 billion images, it’s not feasible for someone to go through it one by one.
I’m happy it got found by a new AI filter, hopefully it can also be used to get rid of the websites that hosted them in the first place.
But a slap to the face to who? The anti AI crowd needs to grow up.
EVs aren’t perfect but they certainly are much better imo.
A car free society is 100% the end goal but we need to transition through EVs, we simply can’t cling on to gas any longer. It’s going to take too long to switch for us to just ignore the impact gas has on our environment while we do so.
Both types of vehicle have their manufacturing environmental costs but there is a vast difference between the cost of a lithium battery and literally taking oil and burning it. Presenting both as having the same environmental cost is precisely the type of misinformation the oil companies are peddling.
