What you’re saying is that if Ecosia didn’t have AI, then people would simply not use AI. However, lot’s of people uses AI and if Ecosia can do that greener than other AI players, then I’m all in for it. For the people that don’t want to use it in Ecosia, it can be turned it off.
Ecosia is still a relatively small player in the search space and if they want to attract more users, they need to have the same or better features than the competition and that includes AI. More Ecosia users means more money for Ecosia to invest in planting trees and building out more green energy.
I think Ecosia’s userbase is mostly environmentally conscious and knows that AI is harmful and avoids it. Maybe make it opt-in or create a survey to determine if it’s worth it to train a model?
