    I don’t accept AI implementation as a green product, and when the “green AI” they advertise is a special, low complexity opt-IN model I feel like I’m being bamboozled on two separate levels.

      Your comment reads as if you don’t want them to offer AI, but if they do offer it then you want it to be either Opt-out or no opt out, and that you would prefer it to be a resource hungry AI at that. Is that what you meant to say? Because otherwise I don’t understand.

        I don’t want them to greenwash AI. So as long as a self-professed green company provides a claimed green AI I don’t agree with them.

        They could offer AI served off of a single RaspberryPi3 powered by a 2 gigawatt solar installation and the anti-AI crowd would find some other angle to attack it. The goal is to get people to think ‘AI Bad’, not any of the other strawmen that they stand up.

  I’ve been using them lately and haven’t seen any AI in their searches, what are you referring to?
