Kind of refreshing to read this.

Glad to see the AI is both European based and optional, that's an improvement over something like Google for sure. And I do feel like more energy efficient AI models are something the world needs about now.

That said, I do question the idea of them having AI for this sort of service in general, due to how anti-ai most of their customerbase probably are. Feels like the exact sort of functionality likely to drive away many of their users, and stir up a controversy online, even with the privacy and environmental concerns somewhat alleviated.
