Climate Concerns Using ChatGPT


Am I the only one who thinks twice before pressing "Send" on ChatGPT because of how much resources it needs to give me the answer?

Can someone check my math on this? Supposedly ChatGPT uses 8x A100's per request. If we say each request takes 5 seconds, and a A100 uses 300watts.

(300w * 8) * 5 = 12,000 watt/sec or 12,000 joules

12,000/3600s = 3.3 watt/hour ?

This is just over the amount of power in a lithium AA battery according to wolframalpha.

Unfortunately, yes.
