At least with GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, I gather most of the AI inference isn't rendering cat videos but mostly useful work.. so I don't feel tooo bad about 16 households worth of energy.

To be fair, this is 16 households of electrical energy. The average household uses about as much electrical energy as it uses energy in form of natural gas (or butane or fuel oil, depending on what they use). And then roughly as much gasoline as they use electricity. So really more like 5 households of energy. And that's just your direct energy use, not accounting for all the products including food consumed in the average household.
