Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that an AI-powered search query uses more energy than a conventional web search query?

Yes. One source, an arXiv paper estimating emissions from AI-augmented search, reports that an AI summarization query to the BLOOM model costs about 75 times more energy than a conventional search query, and its table of ChatGPT estimates shows increases of roughly 28x to 236x. No retrieved item argues the opposite.
