I’m getting really tired of “verify you’re not a bot” checks everywhere.
I understand these checks help prevent bots, but they seem to appear on so many websites now. Does anyone else find them frustrating?

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

Original.
What did you expect? I responded very on topic to the post, and you had no other response than to blow out your generic AI hatred.
I find it very embarrassing for our species when self important people like yourself think your "agent" completing a "research task" is somehow worth accelerating the destruction of the only environment we know of in the universe that we can live in.
Anyway I'm glad it can do captchas for you now so you can have a bot look up how much glue to put on your pizza.
Be embarrassed about falling for misleading misinformation. When concerned about environmental issues we have way way way larger issues to address than data centers.
For clarity, I don't say their impact is nil, just that it pales in comparison. For example with industrial animal farming.
Im sure the camel's back can handle one more straw 🙄
Data centers can in principle be built environmently friendly (like mobility or heating, unlike air travel or animal farming) The reason none of these are concerned with environmental impact is that the whole US of A shits on the environment and has zero regulations for anything. There is the real issue, and avoiding data centers helps exactly nothing in the larger picture.
Don't be hypocritical with singling out the one technology that you happen to dislike for other reasons.
Lmfao. Yes, I am the hypocrite 😂
Please tell me more excuses why it's totally cool for you to continue to use the billionaires plagiarism machine to do your homework for you.
Before we to on to the next topic, did we establish that the environmental impact of AI is not really a concern for you anymore, and you used it as a scapegoat earlier?
Uhh no, I'm very much against AI, mainly for environmental reasons, but also because it furthers billionaires goals, raises electricity prices for the working class, atrophies peoples brains, reports false results, convinces teenagers to kill themselves, etc.
Again, mainly because it's accelerating the destruction of the only livable environment we know of, but I'm glad it helps you with your homework, little buddy.
Oh so you just ignored any counter to your main argument and go on full confrontation while being very ignorant of your username as well.
Him. I think I'll check out of this conversation. There's no use talking to ignorants.
Lmfao, bye bye 👋
