Thank you. It's your 'FFS' that triggered the whole discussion ;)
The answer should also take into consideration the place of extraction/growth of the raw material (and the cost of getting it and storing it, using whatever tools are required), its shipping to the pencil manufacturing plant, how it should be handled and processed maybe. And a few other things like that but, yeah, I would not be surprised if plastic was not the best choice there was.
I would not have thought about asking AI myself because, well, I'm not much into using them. partly because, I don't like the world their owners are trying to make a reality, partly because they consume so much energy.
To be honest, I hate how we've got AI, but the ability to contextualise data is brilliant. It's just a shame it's controlled by these greedy corporations who would rather seek a profit than improve the world.
