GPT-4: A Mere 100 Words Output = 3 Water Bottles? Are We in Danger?
In a shocking revelation, researchers have discovered that the highly anticipated GPT-4 AI model can produce a staggering 3 water bottles worth of output for every 100 words generated. This alarming development has left experts scrambling to understand the implications of this phenomenon.

If we’d calculate everything that consumes energy in “water bottles”, it would be a depressing world.
How does it consume that? Is it by cooling the servers? Or generating electricity? Cause those, for waters sake, are cyclical
Much before AI achieves complete human-like consciousness and decides to exterminate us, we will be doomed by climate change and environmental disaster. And still some people will be claiming “climate change is not real” or “ai progress is more important than environmental conservation”
There’s no hope form USA, it is capitalistic oligarchy. But EU might slap back these AI companies and make them pay a hefty charge for resource consumption instead of subsidizing
Yes it’s used in cooling the data centres. There are 2 different methods used for cooling, evaporative which uses a lots of water, and airflow which is not too much water but has a high power demand..
I think they compare it to how much energy it takes to purify a bottle of water, so it’s just a click bait in my opinion since probably writing this comment consumed more.
Yes and that’s a problem. With better processors, energy consumption may get lower, but I’m sure we will find a way to mitigate that in some way.
Companies are giving up their climate-goals, plans are being made to build or reactivate nuclear plants. It feels like a bad dream.
If you can’t live without GenAI, at least use it responsibly. Don’t ask stuff that might be answered by a simple Search-Engine-Search, which wastes far less energy. Don’t generate random images just for giggles. It used to be “think before you print”, now it’s “think before you prompt”.
