  Local AI probably uses more CO2 per prompt than datacenter, unless you’re running off your own solar panels or something

    You really bit the AI phobia.

    Even 1000 non-local AI prompts use about the same energy as your microwave.

    Datacenters running AI are crunching billions of prompts a second.

      Hang on those aren’t even equivalent units. Equivalent to running your microwave for how long?

        A single prompt is about 1 - 1.5 W/h.

        A microwave is 1000 - 1500 W/h.

        It doesn’t matter how long you run either. Most prompt are only seconds.
