i don’t know what amount of energy and water LLM’s or image generation use, but you vastly overestimate it if you react like this.

If you don’t have your screen on power save after 15 seconds of non-use, rethink it - 8 minutes of screen time assuming a 30W monitor equals about 1 ChatGPT request, and that’s including the training of the model and the production of the hardware it’s running on.

If it cost any real amount of money, don’t you think that people would have to pay for that? ChatGPT has 400m users, and only 11m actually pay for it.

an AI center in Texas was using 460 Million gallons of water, so much that residents were told to cut back on showering to accommodate it.

  Yeah, it’s stupid that they built it where it’s not supported by the necessary infrastructure. btw, do you know what happens after they use it to cool the servers? it gets placed back into the river, it doesn’t disappear. this situation is an infrastructure issue, not an AI issue.
