The environmental impact of our online habits is far larger than most realize, and as digital communication continues to evolve, we must consider its long-term consequences on the environment and human life. We should take the easy steps of cutting wasteful energy use in our communications and it can start with eliminating email signatures.

Automated email signatures are added by hard coded functionality or algorithms, not AI.

You really need to learn what AI is.

Do you think Outlook's automated inclusion of an email signature that is different for people inside and outside the organization based on user settings is AI?

Why are you arguing with someone who made a joke about AI self harming? Especially without knowing that AI is hard coded functionality and algorithms?

As I said, which clearly went over your head, you really need to learn what AI is.

Outlook doesn't behave differently based on a training data set. Saying AI isn't significantly different from hard coded functionality and algorithms is like saying a computer and a light switch are the same thing.
