A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Doing a rough comparison: 500k KWh * 365 / 240 billion KWh= ChatGPT uses ~0.076% of the power that Crypto uses.
Just to put Crypto into perspective.
PS: The 500k is from the article (which states it's per day), and the 240 billion for crypto is the first result I saw from Google, so take with a grain of salt.
edit: I only just now saw which space (?) this is from. Please don't bully me, I'm only here for the discussion (which so far has been civil).
