Source? I’d expect a more realistic claim is running a microwave for 30 seconds to a minute.
I don’t think generating a sora video can definitely take 2-4 hours of GPU time as your claim suggests.

Every time a bell rings someone uses Sora to make 5 seconds worth of content portraying Jake Paul being gay, an angle gets his wings it consumes the equivalent power as running a microwave for an hour.

I went on a bit of a dive trying to find this out. Listening to Lemmy you’d believe a single text query burns 1,000 trees.
The “microwave for an hour” line comes from this article. It attributes it to Sasha Luccioni/Code Carbon, which monitored the use of a computer while it created a video with “CogVideoX” (not Sora).
So OP isn’t exactly right but unfortunately we don’t have much better to go off. I’m inclined to believe Sora would be much better than that. A surprising amount of news articles all eventually lead back to Sasha Luccioni.
Microwaves are like 1000-1500 watt.
There is no way generating a video is 1.200.000 watt when a ChatGPT prompt is only about 0.3 Watt-hours
This smells like Fuck AI propaganda.
You’re confusing Watts (power) with Watt-hours (energy). A Watt is a Joule per second. A Watt-hour is the amount of energy you’d use if you used 1 Watt for an hour i.e. 3600 Joules.
Microwaves use around 1000 watts. If you ran a microwave for an hour, it would use 1000 Watt-hours (aka 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh))
No, but really, Fuck AI.

I’d run my microwave for an hour if I would make him go away.

Id run a microwave for an hour if he was inside
