Ai takes far more power to serve a single request than a website does though.
And remember, AI requires those websites too, for training data.

A good chunk of the Internet usage is HD videos which is far more power hungry than AI. I agree it’s added on top…just like streaming did in 2010, and as things will continue to do.
