GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.
