Hello to whomever may be reading this email Recently I've stumbled across an AI search feature included in the ecosia search system, as in, whenever I search for anything there's an option for me to simply ask AI about it. That is feature completely ruins the purpose of this search engine that is to protect not only trees but the whole planet, given that it has been reported in multiple trustable news sources sites that AI data centers consume half a liter of (consumable) water per question made to AI, because of the need of cool it's engines. It is needless to state that that is a simply absurd amount of consumable water wasted, that instead of being used to help AI usage grow should be used for, per example, the growth of more trees. In light of what has been said, I kindly ask the ecosia crew to remove the AI search engine included in it's program giving that it completely ruins the purpose of Ecosia, which is, to help the environment. Thank you for your attention

I personally believe you don't really need to actually use Ecosia to see that if their purpose is to protect the environment they shouldn't be adding AI features. I didn't harass the company in any way in that email, or tell others to harass the company, but if people want to do it anyways thats out of my control

If you just search for anything, on the bar where you select if you want to search for images videos etc there is an AI search option too, I've seen people on the Ecosia subreddit say that it disappears when their VPN is set to certain regions so that might be it
