it's one year of use which is defined in the link as 100 interactions per day.

so asking chat GPT a simple question uses 0.2Wh of energy.

and asking chat GPT 365250 simple questions burns the energy of a 25 minute hot shower.

I seriously doubt this though. Running a local model thats way weaker than any chatgpt models makes my PC turn into a jet engine for 5 minutes straight

sure. but how much water could your PC bring to shower temperatures? heating water is very energy intensive.
