Anyone know of any data comparing the energy and water usage of a human being performing a cognitive task - like reading and summarising an article - to genAI doing the same thing?

I suspect the latter would be guesses because these companies are deliberately trying to hide the true costs. But my guess is we will find at least an order of magnitude difference.

OK, the AI is faster, but is that worth it?
