It's the other side of the comparison, but I don't think it's useful: everything we do cost energy. Increases in prosperity are correlated with energy consumption. We need not to waste it by spending it on thing that don't benefit us (like, for example, heating a house a lot when it could be insulated) but there is nothing wrong in using energy for thing we deem useful. People enjoy looking youtube video, and if it cost energy, that's not necessarily bad compared to the alternative of unhappiness. Sure, you can say that people shouldn't be happy the wrong way, and forbid unlawful happiness, but that usually don't end well.

I am more convinced by studies focussing on how to reach the same result: in the heating example, happiness is reached by being in a warm house, not by heating, so it makes sense to compare overheating vs insulation and choose the most economical one. In this case, the comparison would be "how much energy is spent by other means to get an AI-level answer to a prompt, or an AI-generated image ?"

Depending on how you see it, companies can translate that into money by improving the customer experience by reducing the time to answer a ticket (improving customer satisfaction, leading to more sales) or simply firing extra low-level customer support workers

Statements like these are funny (I know not yours). You either save money when becoming more efficient by firing people or not hiring additional ones. There's no other monetary 'savings' to efficiency.

That, at least, is pretty much settled law in the US.
