>However, ChatGPT consumes a lot of energy in the process, up to 25 times more than a Google search. That headline is misleading (and should probably be updated. 25x more energy than a search, not 25x more than the company. Which anyone who knows anything about the two things could tell you - one is running inference, the other is a database lookup. In fact, I'd be surprised if it's only 25x in that case.
