I don't think people fully grasp just how expensive this AI nonsense is. Each simple Chat-GPT inquiry uses on average a half liter of water and 0.14 kWh.

If one of ten Americans make a weekly inquiry, that's enough water to cover Rhode Island's consumption for a day and a half, and enough electricity to power DC for 20 days.
