In the late 2000s there was a push by a lot of businesses to not print emails and people use to add a ‘Please consider this environment before printing this email.’

Considering how bad LLMs/‘ai’ are with power consumption and water usage a new useless tag email footer should be made.

    But it’s everywhere now and it’s almost impossible to use mainstream services without it being used. I can just go to Google anymore, type a search query and get a reply without AI bs being used. How long before it’s baked into the GMail compose window and it doesn’t without me wanting to.

      Then we stop using it.

      I think we need a Rule 34 of open-source programs:

      Rule 34: If it exists, there is an open-source version of it

      i) If no open-source version exists, it is currently being created

      ii) If no open-source version is being created, you must create it yourself

      Thanks. You reminded me to turn Gemini off. Did that once and it came back on.
