“People are often curious about how much energy a ChatGPT query uses; the average query uses about 0.34 watt-hours, about what an oven would use in a little over one second, or a high-efficiency lightbulb would use in a couple of minutes. It also uses about 0.000085 gallons of water; roughly one fifteenth of a teaspoon.”
1000/s x 84600s/day is 84,600,000 queries/day
84,600,000 q/d x 0.000085 gals/q is 7,344 gals/d x 365 d/yr is 2,680,560 gals/year
84,600,000 q/d x 0.34 watt-hrs/q is 28,764,000 w-h/d
98,000,000 btu/day x 1 gal/2065 btus is ~47,458 gals/day x 365 d/yr is 17,322,033 gals/yr
Approx 14.6 M more gallons that the data center uses
Seems like AIRJs tech could play a large role in minimizing data center impacts to water resources 🤔
