You conveniently seem to have left this part from your first linked article out of your argument:

De Vries estimated in the paper that by 2027, the entire AI sector will consume between 85 to 134 terawatt-hours (a billion times a kilowatt-hour) annually.

"You're talking about AI electricity consumption potentially being half a percent of global electricity consumption by 2027," de Vries told The Verge. "I think that's a pretty significant number."

No, I think that gets conveyed in the second half, the argument isn't that AI as a whole isn't using a lot of electricity, it's that this electricity use is being misattributed to LLM chatbots which are only a very small part of it.
