新素材 AI也要“喝水” Nowadays, OpenAI company's ChatGPT, Dall - E and Sora have been a hot topic all around the world. But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent(智能的) products. One thing this technology depends on may get you surprised—plenty of water!
Why does a computer programme need so much water? In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount(数量) of text written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.
Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic - sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise.
Usually, AI super - computing centres lie in places that are cool for most of the years. These centres can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature goes to 30℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.
ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500ml. The exact amount of water used in chatting changes with the seasons.
Many people are unaware of the problem. If you don't know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water? The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it's “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth's water resources?
