Just to complete and complement the reasoning around watts, energy, efficiency, and oil...
"The human brain consumes around 20W or 0.3 kWh a day, a remarkable feat of efficiency. However, AI systems like GPT-4, while impressive in their capabilities, exhibit significantly higher energy consumption, with estimates ranging from 0.3 kWh to 6 MWh per query. This stark difference underscores the challenges of sustainability in the digital age, where the energy demands of AI technologies raise concerns about their environmental impact."
