I really am not. I just drank 1 liter of water. ChatGPT consumed several orders of magnitude less doing much more than me. I also just heated up my meal, with meat and fries. ChatGPT didn't need that.

I am. That's amortized over millions of users and billions of invocations.

But who cares? I'd gladly pay for something to do in minutes what would've taken me hours. It doesn't need to be as efficient as my body in the same time frame.
