    If we were charged the real electric cost of the AI queries, maybe we would stop using it so speculatively.

      184w for ~10 sec on my build. If I had an EV, charging that would be magnitudes higher than me poking my local ai models for stuff.

      Not any worse than playing a VR game in the same span of time.

      Also, the air conditioner is the biggest eater of my electric bill, not the computer.
