OT: AI use

Looks like this is currently not the case at all. OpenAI's GPT-5.2 that released in December uses 18Wh per average query according to the University of Rhode Island's AI Lab and up to 40Wh for any extended reasoning. That's 8.6 times more electricity used per response than GPT-4.

Give it time.

Glad the discussion here is more nuanced than other places. If you go to some of the writing subs on Reddit, apparently, everything is AI according to all the self-proclaimed expert critics and AI-detecting aficionados. People are really up in arms about the whole thing over there; it's become a very toxic website, sort of a witch hunt. It's becoming tougher to become a writer or even do it for fun and simply share.
