Your link is just about Google’s energy use, still says it uses a vast amount of energy, and says that A.I. is partially responsible.

It even quotes that moron Altman saying that there’s not enough energy to meet their needs and something new needs to be developed.

I have no idea why you think this supports your point at all.

Artificial intelligence requires a lot of power for much the same reason. The kind of machine learning that produced ChatGPT relies on models that process fantastic amounts of information, and every bit of processing takes energy. When ChatGPT spits out information (or writes someone’s high-school essay), that, too, requires a lot of processing. It’s been estimated that ChatGPT is responding to something like two hundred million requests per day, and, in so doing, is consuming more than half a million kilowatt-hours of electricity. (For comparison’s sake, the average U.S. household consumes twenty-nine kilowatt-hours a day.)

That was the only bit I was referring to for a source for 0.5GWh energy usage per day for GPT, I agree what Altman says is worthless, or worse deliberately manipulative to keep the VC money flowing into openAI.

  I see, so if we ignore the rest of the article entirely, your point is supported. What an odd way of trying to prove a point.
  
  Also, I guess this was a lie:
  
  Ok, you just want to shout not discuss so I wont engage any further.
  
  Although since it was a lie, I’d love you to tell me what you think I was shouting about.
