If so, I’d like to know about that questions:
- Do you use an code autocomplete AI or type in a chat?
- Do you consider environment damage that use of AIs can cause?
- What type of AI do you use?
- Usually, what do you ask AIs to do?
If so, I’d like to know about that questions:
The effects are far from negligible compared to other industries. A very small percentage of people world wide use it and even still, the amount of data centers and sizes and the rise in power costs are insane.
It’s actually extremely intense compared to other industries.
You’re looking at secondary effects with a lot of causes, then assuming the cause. Energy prices are far more complicated than just AI. My prices are up because trade war with Canada.
At this point I feel like you’re a bot. I’m no expert in the subject but there’s plenty of evidence showing the insane amount of resources or request which becomes monumental as the requests become more in depth.
The sky rocketing energy prices may not be felt everywhere just yet but they are felt near data centers that are sprouting up every where. And we’re just getting started.
For the “insane amount of resources per request”, let me show you some real evidence.
My computer has a 65 Watt cpu. It takes about 70 seconds per request. That’s ~1.26 Wh or 790 requests/kWh.
And that’s with a cpu. Servers use gpus which are more optimized for the task.
