AI sufficiency

Our use of artificial intelligence has become widespread, and we often turn to it for things we don’t really need: looking up the same recipe ten times when we already know it by heart, asking it to write long-winded emails, requesting stories when we’re bored, or having absurd conversations just to fill the silence.

Is this a sustainable way to use the technology? Let’s reflect on that and share our thoughts, so we can learn together to use AI more consciously and sustainably.

It’s like turning off the lights when we leave a room: it won’t solve the energy crisis on its own, but it means we’re all moving in the same direction—and that makes a difference.
