You’re confusing Watts (power) with Watt-hours (energy). A Watt is a Joule per second. A Watt-hour is the amount of energy you’d use if you used 1 Watt for an hour i.e. 3600 Joules.
Microwaves use around 1000 watts. If you ran a microwave for an hour, it would use 1000 Watt-hours (aka 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh))
Microwaves are like 1000-1500 watt/h.
There is no way generating a video is 1.200.000 watt/h when a ChatGPT prompt is only about 0.3 Watt-hours
Your estimate of 8-17 watt/h may be closer, but still probably overestimates it by a ton.
This smells like Fuck AI propaganda.
No, but really, Fuck AI.
