Mining 1 bitcoin requires approximately 450,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh), which corresponds to about 45 days of electricity production from a modern Swedish wind turbine.
In contrast, running 1000 AI queries, for example via ChatGPT, only consumes around 1 to 10 kWh, equivalent to just a few seconds of electricity production from the same turbine.
A single wind turbine can power millions of AI queries per year, but only a few bitcoins.
You can get approximately 90 million AI responses for the same amount of energy it takes to mine 1 bitcoin.
The average energy consumption per AI query (e.g., ChatGPT) is about 0.005 kWh
