Bitcoin, yes. But Ethereum uses proof of stake, which has around 0.1% of proof of work's energy requirements. If only there was a way of reducing AI's energy requirements by a similar amount.

The comment I'm replying to is referring to proof of work crypto so better things like Ethereum are irrelevant.
