Generative AI and bad actors are being used to corrode the trust we have in science, so we must be active in the fight to combat this bad data.

If you care about the planet I am begging of you to not use and try your best not to engage with generative-AI. It won't just make us miss our climate goals; it'll kill us too. I sincerely wish I was being dramatic, but the current trajectory for its impact on climate, water, and waste is not good.
