Hmmm... That's all an interesting argument but it has nothing to do with my comparison to YouTube/Netflix (or any other kind of video) streaming.
If we were to compare a heavy user of ChatGPT to a teenager that spends a lot of time streaming videos, the ChatGPT side of the equation wouldn't even amount to 1% of the power/water used by streaming. In fact, if you add up all the usage of all the popular AI services power/water usage that still doesn't add up to much compared to video streaming.
