What do you mean, that using ChatGPT for a recipe for eggs, sunny side up without any seasoning or toppings and burning up the electricity of a moderate household for a week with my query isn’t useful?
Allrecipes has you covered.
It's not the query that burns through electricity like crazy, it's training the models.
You can run a query yourself at home with a desktop computer, as long as it has enough RAM and compute cells to support the model you're using (think a few high-end GPUs).
Training a model requires a huge pile of computer power though, and the AI companies are constantly scraping the internet to ~~steal~~find more training material
