I think the real question is what is the value we are getting out of the resources used? Do we need AI forced into every platform? Personally, I don’t think so. But just to be sure I asked Chat GPT and here is its answer:

“Rather than integrating Al into every possible application, a more measured approach might be beneficial. Assessing the actual need and impact of Al in specific use cases can help avoid unnecessary energy consumption. Al should be implemented where it provides significant benefits and improvements, rather than as a default addition to every platform.”

So even the AI itself knows it is used frivolously.

They may still for enterprise customers.

Lol what?
