ok, tbh, AI language practice does actually sound like one good use of it. https://languatalk.com/try-langua#pricing
No deep understanding or nuance, plus stilted phrasing... but basic errors should be fine, like me forgetting to add が everywhere.

Huge wastage though! AI / LLM / Machine Learning services are massive carbon sources.
Especially with data centers in drought-prone areas, even a good use is still bad.
Hot areas cannot sustain AI: Computer calculations produce heat, which radiates away more slowly into already hot air.

Cooling AI data centers drains water -- especially potable / human-safe sources.
Reservoirs and water tables drop even faster than they would from extras in other human usage, evaporation due to global warming, and whatever third thing probably also happens.
Idk, I'm not a climate scientist. I just have climate grief.

Americans don’t talk enough about climate change. Let’s fix that.

This Earth Month, CCL is asking volunteers across the country to have open and honest conversations about climate change with their friends, family, and communities. Our goal? 25,000 climate conversations to break the silence about climate change and pave the way for action.

80% of greenhouse emissions linked to just 57 companies. Individual consumer choices won't be enough.

To effectively combat #ClimateChange, we must change national and global policies. For most of us, it's difficult to know which policies we should be fighting for. That's where the #CitizensClimateLobby can help! Join us today and help lobby for policy changes that will make a difference.

Now, she’s graduating high school this spring and wanted to cap off her years of youth activism with — what else? — a little more lobbying!
