The environmental comparison I'd be interested in seeing is between a year of heavy personal usage of LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini etc) compared to the CO2 emissions from a single passenger flight

Can I do my own personal carbon offsetting by skipping one trip a year?

Does that question even make sense?

@simon I suspect the answer is no unless you're willing to do some SINCERE hand waving in your calculations.

However I'd love to learn that I'm wrong and it would make for a super interesting experiment nonetheless!
