Sure, crypto is certainly worse.

But ChatGPT uses the equivalent power of 17,000 households according to this article.

In other words, 17 million households can all turn off the AC when they are not home and the savings can run like 100 chatGPTs

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).
