    Comparisons can be made using open AI models. I run some locally on my own hardware, I know exactly how much energy they use.

      I wasn’t talking about the closed source models you use. I was talking about the cloud ones you were just discussing.

        And I said comparisons can be made.

        If those cloud models are getting comparable results but using way more electricity, why would companies be running them? They like making profit, don’t they? They’re not some kind of Captain Planet villains chortling at being maximally wasteful.

          We know the AI megacorporations are not profiting off it. Why would you pretend otherwise? Other you are very ignorant, or you’re being dishonest right now.
