> An AI only needs electricity, which it can easily generate with renewables without any need for competition with humans
Humans also need electricity, and many human needs rely on land which might be used for renewable energy energy generation, so that doesn't really demonstrate noncompetition.
> just like we produce food without having to compete with natural predators
What natural predator are we not competing with, if nothing else for habitat (whether we are directly using their habitat for habitat, or for energy/food production, or for dumping wastes)?
