LMAO wtf? I included all of gaming opposed to all generative AI. My estimate also included the cost of production if you check the source.

You're the one who wanted to compare AI power costs to gaming costs and now you've shifted the goalpost to all power costs for everything total?

It's a waste. AI is a massive fucking waste. It's going to actually literally kill us all with climate change alone, it's going to multiply our power consumption many times over in only a couple of decades at the current rate even after you account for efficiency gains. It's beyond worthless, it's an almost pure negative.
