This is really devious: it gives the impression that what really matters is the energy efficiency per query, whereas of course energy efficiency has never led to reduced energy use. The whole history of the industrial revolution is one of improving energy efficiency. This is what caused global warming: it became cost effective to burn all that coal and oil.

By phrasing it as a ChatGPT-vs-human comparison he is aiming to distract us from the only real issue: the additional emissions caused by the "AI" hype he is so desperate to keep alive. And of course it also suggests we could offset the energy use of his precious "AI" by having fewer humans. Altman is easily one of the most loathsome people on the planet. (3/3) #NoToAI
