Overall, when tested on 40 prompts, DeepSeek was found to have a similar energy efficiency to the Meta model, but DeepSeek tended to generate much longer responses and therefore was found to use 87% more energy.

So the answer, as always, is ban useless, power-sucking, unreliable, copyright-infringing AI.
Why do I feel that this will never happen? That we will continue to use this horrible technology to the end of our days with people constantly making excuses for its existence? Ugh.
That’s naive. It’s way too late for any of that. If some country decided to ban AI, all the engineers will just move somewhere else.
Quit having residential rate payer subsidize this trash… they want to develop it, fine. Make them pay for it.
We don’t even get any economic benefits from these subsidies.
Everyone is making way too much money off of this for a blanket ban to ever happen.
