    So almost 50% use it as a more energy intensive search engine, huh?

      You can ask it much more complex questions than you can google and you can ask follow-up questions too.

      Yep, using ChatGPT is a way to increase one’s environmental footprint.

      And the energy cost doesn’t appear to be fully passed to users yet, as OpenAI isn’t profitable yet. There are even free LLM services. So users don’t have an insentive to prefer less polluting alternatives, such as classic search engines.

      Google really sucks now for some reason. It used to be much better.
