"AI energy usage" is a convenient scapegoat not backed by data.
Many things are orders of magnitude bigger than AI in the energy usage problem that bring less comparable value.
I'm starting to get to the point where I'll only listen to AI energy use critiques if the commentator tells me up front they abstain from all forms of social media, especially video-based social media, first.
