The Issue

Dear Yahoo (and any other Email service provider that automatically uses AI to create a summary at the top of each email):

Please stop using AI automatically to create a summary at the top of each email. We can read the email that was sent.

AI Data Centers use an enormous amount of energy and water, and users don't necessarily want this service. A 300 megawatt data center (which is very small) uses 2,016,000 gallons of water a day just for the power creation when the power is sourced from anything other than wind or solar. We need to reduce the need for these Data Centers that damage our local communities. Please stop creating a need for more AI Data Centers, when we need to be conserving water and energy.

Thank you!
