I get that these are “sticking it to the AI companies”, but aren’t we also supposed to be freaking out about how much energy these things consume and pollution caused by them?

Reminded me of this thing I did with google assistant back when it was just a chatbot you had to deliberately access to use.

When someone says “thank you”, the AI has to process that, even though it doesn’t really need to. It’s a small thing, but it adds up with millions of users.

Me too, me too.

And just like that, one less bumblebee now exists.

thanks
