You're mixing up AI and Blockchain there, bud. AI has other, much deeper problems than energy usage, but nice virtue signalling nonetheless.

AI uses a lot of energy but unlike PoW, electricity wastage isn't it's purpose.
What does Blockchain have to do with the energy usage of Microsoft's computing centres?
Are you trying to downplay the compute required to train and run inference on these large language models by stringing together some contrived comparison to the now 'uncool' Blockchain technology? That would be absurd.
