Sister was messing around with a UV light and noticed this on her phone screen under it. My phone does not have this (all I get is a grid of dots I’m pretty sure are to do with the touch screen).

Well the AI’s themselves are yeah, but it’d take me a lot longer to write that down into google instead of just saying “Hey Google, I’m shining a UV light on a pixel 8, what’s that oval on the screen”.
I’m not gonna refrain from using them as if me quitting them would make any difference to the global energy consumption.
I don’t even aways wash the jam jars I throw to the glass recycling and sometimes I won’t bother to rip the small bits of plastic from juices cans to toss them into cardboard recycling, so I’ll just toss the entire thing to the burnable waste bin.
And despite knowing I could be more helpful, I find that the largest issues aren’t on the level of the consumer and my choices make very little difference.
I like talking to Gemini to a) see what it can and can’t do and b) improve it through use.
I’m honestly considering getting the pro for at least the 30 days trial. But I’m gonna put that off for now.
Before Gemini I used the Google Assistant. It gives shorter answers and is better and some things, but I mostly use it to control my smart lighting and for that both work equally well and Gemini’s voice(s) is(/are) more pleasing.
The other day I got Gemini to admit Google is lying to me. Took less than 10 minutes. I was just amusing my self and probing the edges of Gemini’s behaviour. (I got a recording if anyone wants to see it)
If you’re willing to pay for AI, I feel Gemini is a bad bet. I’ve got far better results from ChatGPT (free version).
I think we can all agree that none of us are going to convince you, and you aren’t going to convince any of us.
No, we can’t all agree that you, a single person, speak for what thousands of others think.
And what exactly is it you’re trying to convince me of? Not to use the features of my phone because we need to save the Earth? Keeping in mind that companies like to shift blame to consumers, despite us having negligible impact in comparison to pretty much any industry; Wanna compare carbon footprints?

If yours is smaller than mine, I’d be surprised. And that isn’t too comprehensive of a quiz. Mine is probably smaller than it calculates. Aside from underwear, I never buy new clothing. I don’t fly to vacations or even have any. I don’t own a car. I bike everywhere. I use local groceries and don’t eat a lot of meat and when I do I preferably game which doesn’t have the same environmental effects.
I don’t know what my “sin” here is so would you mind telling me what it is I’m supposed to be convincing you of?
edit: Just got my energy bill today and actually I’m on 100% renewables as per my contract so my footprint is actually even smaller. I notice how none of you downvoters can compare your footprints to mine.
Lol you’re demonstrating my point.
Whether or not it’s your intention, you’re being defensive and belligerent. So people are less likely to support your position.
