Coding models these days use an inference every time you stop typing. Let’s say it’s 0.1 inference oer keystroke. If you keep VSCode open all day, I could believe it’s a significant energy draw.

Google now uses several inferences per Google search.

The average user’s #inferences-per-day is going to skyrocket.

My point is that it’s understandable to consider AI a significant contributor to the average professional’s energy budget. It’s not an insult to point this out.
