Comment on ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity
What exactly do you get for that power though?
The point is that it’s too much power for little gain in return.
Arguably, a great deal more than the energy you lose from opening the door to your house in the summer, once while the A/C is running.
I consider TikTok harmful, so you are right about your last sentence.
But my AC does not nor ever has actually consumed 4kW in an hour.
The average (US suburban 2200sq ft) home’s A/C does consume 4kW while it is cycled on, and in the hotter than normal months of summer it can run continuous duty cycle for hours on end.
You need better insulation then. That’s crazy. Also outdoor blinds.
