0.0003 of anything should not be measured in kilo-units

Aren't they both in Watt Hours of different magnitudes, so same unit different magnitudes.

Hmm, great point. I simply copied the figures from the sources. I dunno why I didn't consider converting one of them.

Edited post to add conversions. Thank you.

But now I just think the meme is even funnier for a new accidental reason.

I simply copied from the sources, not thinking at all. I've added context to the edit per everyone's remarks. It's about a tenth.

But you raise an interesting question.

A quick search suggests ChatGPT gets 2.5 billion prompts a day. I wouldn't presume this is a one-to-one scale. How many Google searches result in more searches as the person is trying to refine to figure out what they're looking for or not finding it? Additionally, how prompts into ChatGPT have further prompts for refinement?

I could see a case when ChatGPT gives quick results that take one prompt whereas someone unsuccessfully googling might make 10 searches.

Does it net out? Who knows. There's also innumerable other factors at play. What we CAN know is that energy use has skyrocketed recently, whereas Googles been around for decades.

A full order of magnitude is “not that far”?

Actually, it shows regular searches as 10x more efficient.

I use it to help figure out the order to cook things like stir frys with whatever ingredients I happen to have, which is an improvement over my previous "just throw it all in and stop when I feel like it's time to eat then wonder why the meat is so tough".

It also helped me figure out that I've been steaming food instead of frying it for a long time. Though my cooking got a lot messier when I corrected that and I went from never burning anything to occasionally burning some things.

Do you have the app broccoli?

Different by one decimal place.

One of the sources I linked literally gave you your lightbulb answer, but you didn't check. You just went straight to some kind of mansplaining.

Also, it's a fucking meme. I don't give that much of a shit.

no, because line needs to go up

Seriously though, I agree with you. It's just so wasteful. It's really disheartening to try and do my eco friendly bit to reduce waste (particularly of power) and then data centres just piss away the ground we've collectively made.

Ah, well, good thing your feeling is more important than any potential source of actual data.

New free DLC options added!

I am pretty sure you don't need an app

Next time try making the meme without a pedophile.

Got it. I won't make a meme with you next time.
