We want to have an answers to all our questions and not a surprise that we was not sure, but always we use ChatGPT. But it's not so innocent. This AI tool desires and using the water resources from the earth. Reports show that every time we open an app for a quick chat, we waste about 0.5 liters of water for every 10-50 requests, writes ladbible.com.
The water is not only one thing what is using this AI chatbot. Forbes claims that ChatGPT daily using more as half a million kilowatts of electricity, and that is a huge amount, with that they are serving two hundred millions of requests. Its enough to serve around 180 thousands of US households where people use ChatGPT to write their college essays.
It's true, that even such words like "Please" or "Thanks" writing does serious damage, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman once joked that it could cost an additional tens of millions of dollars.
Technology analyst Dylan Patel said that ChatGPT costs more than 500,000 pounds (about 585,000 euros) per day to operate, ladbible.com reports. It's important to understand, that AI will become a part of our lifestyle possibly, therefore, environmental protection costs will also increase.
Electricity and drinking water that could be used to supply people are instead used for this technology. According to Forbes, by 2050, two-thirds of the world's population is expected to suffer from water shortages that will affect all aspects of people's lives, and we use some of this clean drinking water to keep AI data servers from crashing.
So, if next time you'll have any question, it's better to ask your mother, friend or teacher.
