Any idea what such things cost the company in terms of computation or electricity?

Essentially nothing. Repeating a word infinite times (until interrupted) is one of the easiest tasks a computer can do. Even if millions of people were making requests like this it would cost OpenAI on the order of a few hundred bucks, out of an operational budget of tens of millions.

The expensive part of AI is training the models. Trained models are so cheap to run that you can do it on your cell phone if you're interested.

GPT4 definitely isn't cheap to run.
