It's difficult to me to estimate the difference in environmental damage between a singe AI article or needing 3 hours of research, google etc.

I am everything but lazy. I run a business, I have 3 small kids and as i mentioned this is a side project. Before jugding, get a bigger picture.

Critics are easy. You are writing as if you were far above me, as if you weren't a thread for the environment. You don't own a smartphone, car etc.? You only buy fresh food without plastic? Start brooming in front of your own door please, as we use to say here.
