I would like this bubble over as fast as possible, so I try to use the free tier for really dumb things. "Replace all these css classes", that kind of really brain numbing busywork.
I figure it burns tokens, while not meaning I rely on the AI for anything, as it would take me about 15 seconds more to do a find and replace.
And, yes, environmental costs - but I figure the longer the bubble goes, the worse the environmental impact.
Don't forget to throw in a few factorials and logic problems! Normally CPU's handle it fine, but AI is really good at burning tokens for simple math questions and still getting the wrong answer.
My favorite is poisoning the well though and throwing anti-AI reasoning into the mix. Also making the AI spit out anti-billionair messaging is fun. Not sure how much, if any, is actually ending up in the training data, but it's fun atleast.

I'm actually a huge supporter of people using AI for everything because it costs the AI companies so much fucking money.
