Very high. But since they provide actual utility as opposed to the overwhelming majority of the current usecases for generative language models, it doesn’t seem relevant here.
I lived in the tropics where it was hotter than the USA and we survived just fine without A/C.
A/C is luxury and your luxury is destroying the planet. I don’t want you to stop using A/C but I would like people to accept that it is a luxury that is not needed in most cases.
Questionable in many cases. A bunch of stores have their A/C on full blast while keeping the door open in the summer. You can actually get fined for this in NYC now but in other US cities it’s still the norm.
