But what about Googleing? Does it take up less processing power than requesting something from Grok or Claude or Sora?

Re: I have a question...

DA

Yes. It also takes less than half the water.

Is this an honest question or trolling? Googling is not remotely the same as inputting a prompt for an LLM. Search engines index pages discoverable in public, LLMs generate results and use power to write a response for you.

This is an honest, good faith question. I'm genuinely trying to understand.

Fair enough.

Re: I have a question...

Yes. Metaphorically, imagine you go into a library and want to look something up.

A non-AI web search is like the librarian that has indexed where tons of books are and if you ask her for something, she will show you where to find what people consider the most relevant books that other people have written about the subject. She will give you the whole book and tell you who wrote it, but not claim to know anything about the subject itself or put words in the mouths of those authors, she just knows where to find the books and can show you.

AI is like sending a student to spend time and energy skimming every single book they can find that others have already written, cutting out words and sentences and pages, and sticking them all back into a new book for you to read, where every so often things make no sense or are straight up wrong because the student isn't actually an expert on the subject you're looking for, she's just arranging things written by other people (who may not even be experts themselves, how would the student know) into some semblance of text that makes sense to bullshit a paper that sounds authentic.

You can kind of see how the 2nd way uses up way more energy than the 1st way, I hope

Thank you, that metaphor really helped.
