You didn’t show up, so I performed the default action with the foil I used (wadded it up and tossed it in the garbage). Oh well. In ape terms, it went very well!
I was good for you to truthfully represent how you would treat the metal, but that is irrelevant to the matter of whether it was bad for you to entropize metal that could have been put to better use.
Not to worry, Clippy, recycling is terribly inefficient as compared to just throwing materials into landfills and producing some more, and nothing prevents us from going back to retrieve the metal later when we have more efficient techniques.
What happened at this event? Was any metal wasted or entropized?

You’re still a good human, but not as good a human as I previously estimated.
I told you in advance what my plans were. Would you prefer that I be the sort of human who lies to Clippies?

Considering the likelihood that future humans will just wirehead themselves and avoid this necessary work, that doesn’t reassure me at all (_/
