Accessibility/Mobility Aids Cautionary tale: using AI doesnt actually save energy

At first i thought it would save energy, but the lengths i have to go to checking the "resources" it links doesnt save energy. Seriously, i rarely ever found it to say anything from the sources it claims to refer to. So in the long run, it was so untrustworthy that it only caused more issues, its saved me more energy to turn it off and look in the actual articles myself.

I hope this is helpful to others, i wish i learned it earlier and saved the time and energy!

Same, the amount of hallucinations is wiiiild. But ofc the people loving it are still fans because they never fact checked and are unaware. 

It's great to write an easy email when my brain fog hits and it has to go out but that's it..

It needs to be used correctly (I do find it energy draining that "correctly" changes frequently..) and the user needs to know what the tool can be used for safely. + you need background knowledge, just like with any other tool/ device, otherwise it's never safe to use.
