AI systems can and should provide guidance on responsible usage to help minimize their environmental impact

I believe that OpenAI should consider implementing a feature that educates users about the environmental impact of AI usage. A simple, non-intrusive reminder (such as before starting a session or during interactions) could help users be more conscious about their energy usage when interacting with models like ChatGPT. For example, informing users that sending longer but fewer queries can minimize resource consumption would be a small yet effective step toward sustainability. It could also include a brief note about the importance of responsible AI usage in terms of energy consumption. I believe this could help raise awareness and promote more responsible interaction with AI, while still ensuring that users have a positive and productive experience.
