To be clear, the fact that you can power AI prompts with a hand crank gives you a hint about how not resource intensive they are. Try powering your whole day with one.

@AndyMasley Id like to see the climate impact of the additional food I’d need to eat to burn the calories to run my AI - this might actually be the AI model that uses the most water
