"Stop Using ChatGPT During LA Wildfires"
Along with volunteering and donating money or goods, social media has presented Angelenos with a very simple action that they can take to conserve water: stop using ChatGPT.

But in the meantime, if you’re in LA, hold off on your ChatGPT use until the wildfire threat subsides.
