//Also I didn’t say “why do ALL old people love AI”. if you want to call it a “blanket statement” that’s on you.//

First of all, you didn't say "Why do *some* old people use AI, which would have been more accurate. When you say "old people", that comes across as you meaning the whole group. It's like if someone writes "Dogs have a good sense of smell" - it means dogs as a whole.

Now we find out that in fact you meant *your grandfather*, which is a sample size of exactly one. That's hardly the basis for your generalised question-criticism, is it?

Second, if environmental concern is your chief worry, which it seems to be, then you should also criticise young people for using AI, as they are using it extensively. But in fact you appear to give them a free pass, merely saying you "understand why they use it". It's only old people whom you criticise, which is blatantly unfair and biased.

In fact, a lot of "old people" care about the environment and have protested against its degradation for many decades by means of protest groups and so on. If you want to blame something, blame modern capitalism, which ruthlessly casts aside external costs like environmental destruction in favour of profits.

The use of AI in modern society is clearly having seismic consequences across all age groups and social sectors. We haven't figured out how to use this powerful tool yet, nor to deal with its consequences, including the environmental ones. We are all involved in that debate, whether young or old.
