I asked Google AI "how many joules does a google AI query use" and it

I asked Grok what the stupidest question he'd been asked so far was.
'He' provided a shortlist and couldn't pick one in particular. But *I*
felt there was one outstanding candidate, so did: "Why can't I charge
my phone by rubbing it on my cat?"
Now we know why so many folks have bought into the climate change
hoax: they're brainless.
Cursitor Doom isn't brainless, but he doesn't use what brains he's got particularly well.
He regards a bunch of shoddy and not all that accurate numbers published
in 1890s as proof positive that the atmospheric CO2 levels haven't gone
up since then, while Charles Keeling work in the late 1950's was the
first that took enough samples to show that you had to put your sampling station somewhere pretty remote to get stable and consistent values,
which were around 313ppm when he got started, and are over 400ppm now.

There is hoax data on the subject, paid for by the fossil carbon
extraction industry, and gullible twits like Cursitor Doom and John
Larkin do appear to take it seriously. You can get paid for spreading it
- Rupert Murdoch appears to make quite a lot of money out of featuring
it ins his newspapers.
