the amount of water required to run chatgpt is ludicrous š¦ā”
ChatGPT and AI tools donāt just run on codeāthey run on massive amounts of water and electricity.
Hereās why:
š„ AI servers generate extreme heatāone rack can emit the same heat as 50 toasters.
š§ Cooling them requires liquid cooling systems instead of traditional air cooling.
š This heat then must be reused (district heating) or wasted into the environment.
The numbers are staggering, but AI isnāt going anywhere. So the real question is:
How do we make AI more sustainable?
And letās be honestāit better be worth itā¦ because right now, all that energy is being used for proofreading essays and generating pictures with dead eyes. š
