Two points that needs more exploration.
One is briefly mentioned by the author that AI usage of a software engineer is at the very end of usage distribution. So this cannot be taken as a generalised estimate as the tiltle suggest.
Second, I don’t see any mention of energy usage for research and development of the models. This is about what happens once the model is built. Unless AI companies disclose this, these are not going to put things into perspective.
