Contentless clickbait headline:

In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses

One can rewrite clickbait or info-less headlines, while avoiding editorial. A good one is usually either in the sub-head or first couple sentences:

"Gemini apps ... median prompt ... consumes 0.24 watt-hours of electricity, the equivalent of running a standard microwave for about one second."

Possible contentful headline that fits in 80 chars:

Median Gemini text prompt consumes 0.24Wh energy, same as microwave for a second

Learned something even without a click, can decide if you want to!

Even better, skip the reblog and link the research, with a headline from the abstract:

• Median Gemini Apps prompt uses less energy than watching nine seconds of TV — https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/measuring_the_envi...
