I recently read that asking a single question in Chat GPT uses energy/electricity equal to powering a lightbulb for something like 20 minutes. How does Chat GPT work and is it an energy drain?
In: Technology
ChatGPT uses a lot of energy because it’s powered by big, powerful computers that need to work really hard to answer your questions. Imagine if every time you asked a question, a giant machine had to solve a huge puzzle. This machine needs electricity to keep working, just like how your phone or computer needs a battery.
When you ask a question, it’s kind of like turning on a light bulb for about 20 minutes. The computers use this energy to figure out how to answer your question, and they also need to stay cool because they get hot while working. People are trying to make these machines use less energy so they don’t waste as much and are better for the planet.
