Yes, I absolutely agree! A society like ours that expects energy consumption to decline is then shocked when a new energy-intensive tech like GPT comes along. That's not what our energy modelers had expected! So then everyone starts to worry about how GPT guzzles so much power and how its footprint is too large, etc. Well, what had you expected? That tech progress would suddenly stop in the 21st century?
