e-mail in the AI era

That’s a great point! Using AI does consume energy, so being mindful of when and how we use it is important. If you’d like, I can help you refine your questions or tailor responses to minimize energy use. Let me know how I can assist efficiently!

- Cappy's Courage
  
  In the wetlands of Capyville, Cappy the capybara was known for her kindness and bravery. But there was one secret she’d never shared: she liked other girl capybaras.
  
  At the Wetland Festival, her best friend Rosa noticed Cappy was quiet. “What’s on your mind?” Rosa asked.
  
  Cappy took a deep breath. “I like you, Rosa. Not just as a friend. In a special way.”
  
  Rosa’s eyes widened, then softened. “Cappy, I like you too! I was just too shy to say it first.”
  
  They decided to share their feelings with their friends, who were surprised at first but quickly cheered for the happy pair.
  
  From that day on, Capyville became an even brighter place, where love was celebrated in all its forms.
  
  The End
What are some tips?

Chugs a gallon of water and scarfs down a whole steak. Bold of you to assume I'm more environmentally friendly than AI.

I was gonna eat that steak anyway, whether I send zero or 100 emails today.
- well it's still like 1,800+ gallons of water for a single pound of prepared cow flesh, so..
gallon of water

Am... Am I not supposed to be drinking water now?
- It's a reference to how generative AI uses huge amounts of water.

It's really idiotic how many resources we're throwing on bad texts, hallucinations and images that look just off. I've got a coding license for my work and I really tried to use it in a meaningful way, but now it's just another tool that's unused because there's only so much mindless scaffolding you need to generate.

It's on average maybe 5x more than a google search. A 300W GPU running for a minute won't be a blip on your energy bill. What is costly is training, which is usually not done often.
- That said, data centers as a whole are something like 1% of the global electricity use. So while AI may use a lot of energy relative to what you're getting, it's really not a ton in the grand scheme of things.
  
  If the goal is to reduce electricity usage, there are bigger fish to fry. If the goal is to stop the small fish from getting too large w/o providing value, then go ahead, guilt away.
mindless scaffolding

So perfect, yet succinct - bravo!

It’s always at best a starting off point, needing a real human to review and heavily edit. Even in the more refined spaces like surveillance where’s there’s a ton of research money thrown at it, it’s still just a pattern recognition probability gambler that needs human oversight.
It's better than spending the money on McKinsey. But not by a lot.

It does absolutely nothing, and is simply a dog whistle.

I hate how people are trying to shame me for generating some funny pictures when they commute to the office in a gas guzzler for only doing online meetings.

Unless it’s okay we start shaming them too every time we get the chance :p

May we should instead add some prompts to our signature like "Please answer the E-Mail like Donald Trump would" this would make no Impact to the environments but may would lead to some funny responses.
