Yeah, right. My boss gave me a bunch of risk assessments to read through and let slip that AI had 'helped' produce them. So I said I'd get AI to summarise them. All this vast computing power and climate damage is being used for bullshit.

    Person A gives an AI a list of bullet points and instructs it to expand the bullet points into an email.

    Person B receives the email and asks AI to summarize it into bullet points.

    An ocean of water could have been saved if the Person A had just emailed the bullet points directly, and the information transfer would have been far superior.
