Yeah, but then they start "gaming"...

I just edited my comment, just no wonder you missed it.

In 2024, chatgtp was projected to use 226.8 GWh. You see, if people are "gaming" 24/7, it is quite wasteful.

Edit: just in case, it isn't obvious. The hardware needs to be produced. The data collected. And they are scaling up. So my point was that even if you do locally sometimes a little bit of LLM, there is more energy consumed then just the energy used for that 1 prompt.
