MIT Technology Review just published calculations of how much energy AI is likely to use. You can find their results here [may be behind a paywall]:

Hint: It's a lot !!!
By the way, notice how no one else is talking about where the money is coming from to build and operate all the AI/data centers. Clearly lots of money will be made and will be spent, but since the service is (mostly) "free" to us, the data we "provide" to the AI/data center owner/operators must be worth a bundle.
