The closest thing I can think of is Canadian Highlander, but it doesn't tick the last item on your list and it only is cheap if you proxy.

Organized protest is good. One guy going to play in traffic is less good.
With great difficulty.
The answer to the question you avoided is: nothing. Nothing would be lost.
And no, I don't like the plagiarism machine that makes shit up half the time. Lots of others feel similarly.
That was my point: I don't think it has a tangible benefit.
What is lost from this story if you remove all mention of ChatGPT?
I will concede that I phrased that poorly. I realize that making cars idle was not the point, but that is was the result would be.
This isn't how to do that. This is a one time inconvenience that gets somebody arrested. If you want less reliance on cars, bigger societal changes need to happen.
No, this isn't me feigning ignorance. There are much better uses of a person's time if their goal is environmentalism than sitting in traffic.
This might be an entertaining story if not for the off putting mentions of ChatGPT. Like, why even mention it? At best it adds nothing and at worst it makes people not like you. This reads like a shitty ad for something now.
Honestly, that sounds like a great way to get into it.
