Why would that matter? Every system has inefficiencies. For example: Person sitting in office, trained for years, kept alive and breathing, being paid for by their employer — that is not writing that mail their boss is waiting for, but instead arguing about the resources used by ChatGPT.

Why wouldn't it matter? If ChatGPT produces words at roughly the same energy efficiency as human writers, but most of those words are unnecessary and would not have been produced if it wasn't for ChatGPT, it's worthwhile to discuss the energy cost.
