You’re on the Druid path, you want to live a sustainable life, but you maybe don’t have the time, the money, the energy or the health to do all the environmentally friendly things you want to do.

So, here’s a really easy thing you can do that costs no money, and makes a huge difference.

Don’t use AI.

AIs use a huge amount of energy and water for every prompt or question. That makes them incredibly damaging. But, there’s no reason at all to use them for fun, we don’t actually need them and they add no real value to anything.

If you have the time and energy to go a bit further, then point out to your friends that AIs are environmentally damaging and it is best not to use them.

One easy way to help counter AI use is to make a point of praising and sharing real things made by people. It is getting harder to spot AI content, but time taken to check so you aren’t sharing AI images is a meaningful offering to whatever or whoever you hold sacred. Resisting AI honours the true and sacred flow of inspiration.

Not engaging in any way with AI content is also a good choice – especially if you don’t have the energy to argue with people. Simply not responding to it helps reduce the amount of attention it gets and thus helps discourage it in a small way.

One of the ways in which AI is being sold to people is by persuading them this is the only route they have to creative expression. This is a social ill of itself, and also needs countering. Everyone has the capacity to be creative. The real issues are of time, opportunity and resources. That and being persuaded that you can’t. Everyone has the capacity to be creative and no one needs dodgy, content-stealing tech to do it for them. This is something that needs talking about.

(If you are obliged to engage with AI as part of your job, then I feel for you.)
