Isn't this why transit advocates try to reduce the need for owning a car though?
I'm thinking a really good search engine would not make you reach for ai as often and so could be eco friendly that way

Search engines aren't just some database lookups, is the thing. There's actually quite a bit of linear alegbra involved in both, for page ranking especially
Anyways these sorts of comparisons make no sense to begin with, and quite obviously at the moment the worst actors cough xAI cough who are deploying massively polluting generators into residential neighborhoods are much worse than, say, Google Search
This has to be satire. LLMs are a monumental jump on search engines.
Imagine a hypothetical search competition and you are given Google and I am given ChatGPT. I’ll win every single time.
I disagree. Without AI I might take 15 min to search for something in google that would have taken me a single prompt in ChatGPT. The energy used by my screen in those 15 minutes would be higher than the energy taken by that prompt.
There are fundamental reasons public transit is always more efficient than private cars. There's no fundamental reason a really good search engine is more efficient than an LLM or any other kind of AI.
