AI is the resource drain. Humans create a lot of waste but in a mostly renewable way. It is machines and AI that burn orders of magnitude more energy, and at least machines do efficient work. AI is at best a search engine with semantic reasoning and it requires entire datacenters to run.

I get where you're coming from emotionally, yes, humans suck. But you are not being logical. You're letting your edgy need for attention cloud your judgement. You are basically the kind of human the AI would select against first.
