I’ve discussed AI energy use from several perspectives in previous posts (here, here, and here), but this time I wanted something simpler and easier to grasp. What if we compared the energy used by a chatbot over an entire year to everyday things we all do?
Here’s the quick takeaway:
One year of regular chatbot use consumes less energy than:
🚗 Driving a car for 10 kilometers
🚿 Taking five hot showers (five minutes each)
🛁 Filling two hot baths
