Just like with plastic waste, it isn’t random people making Gemini uwu once in a while that wastes a significant amount of water/energy. It’s the corporations submitting billions of LLM requests that’s consuming most of it.

Really it’s the training that’s the biggest resource drain. Requests don’t require nearly as much compute power.
