1Kg of Beef takes as much Energy as 60.000 ChatGPT prompts, and as much water as 51.383.333 ChatGPT prompts.

Stop eating meat, driving your car, and taking hot showers. Then we can talk about prompt resources.



Why not all of it?


Cost of opportunity and diminishing returns.

It's stupid to optimise a 0.01% case when you can spend that time on a 25% case.


I don't eat meat for the last 10 years, don't own a car, and take cold showers. Can we talk about energy and resource efficiency of chatGPT now or you gonna gatekeep the conversation till I convince all of humanity to be vegan?


I'm gonna (mathematically speaking rightfully) consider the conversation an absolute waste of time and resources, until a significant portion of humanity does that, yes. Because you falling over dead and consuming 0 resources makes only reduce global resource consumption by 0.00000001%.


i'm vegan for a decade if that matters, i also opted for not having a driver license even lured to recieve a car when i turned 18. i'm also straight and i don't want children. the later (not having children) has a bigger impact than the first 2 together... should we be anti-natalists?

anyway your also missing the copyright violation and the whole other plethora of problems coming from generative AI. like bias and misiformation. water and electricity is just a tiny point of this great pile of shit. also this low % still uses USA coal power most of the times and drains water from nearby houses. i'm not a rat to dry-bath on talc powder because some greed entrepreneur wants their 6 figures in-check
