Nwadays, OpenAI cmpany’s ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sra have been a ht tpic all arund the wrld. But perhaps mst f us have never thught abut what it takes t run such intelligent (智能的) prducts. One thing this technlgy depends n may get yu surprised—plenty f water!
Why des a cmputer prgram need s much water? In fact, in rder t have the ability t write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amunt (数量) f text written by humans. In the prcess, it nt nly uses much electricity but als prduces much heat. S, n ht days, cmputer engineers use water t keep the cmputers cl.
Micrsft has wrked with OpenAI fr years. In a recent reprt, Micrsft shared hw much water was used frm 2021 t 2022. The ttal amunt f water used in cling machines is enugh t fill mre than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pls. It is believed the training f AI systems leads t the big rise.
Usually, AI super-cmputing centers lie in places that are cl fr mst f the year. These centers can just use utside air t cl the cmputers. But in summer, the temperature ges t 30℃. The cmputer engineers have t use a large amunt f water t cl all the machines.
ChatGPT als “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have wrked ut the envirnmental csts f using AI prducts. Fr a cnversatin f 20 t 50 questins and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bttle f water, abut 500ml. The exact amunt f water used in chatting changes with the seasns.
Many peple are unaware f the prblem. If yu dn’t knw hw many resurces ChatGPT uses, hw can yu help t save water? The next time yu are amazed at hw smart ChatGPT is, think abut hw much water it’s “drinking”. Why nt reduce the time f talking t machines—t help save the Earth’s water resurces!
Hw “thirsty” are AI systems?

At first, the idea didn’t exactly make us kids jump up and dwn. But as we started lking arund, cl things started happening.
“Hey!” Indi whispered “This huge butterfly landed n my knee!”
“She’s s beautiful.” I said. “Lk, there are tw lvely rabbits happily eating grass there!”

“I wish it culd happen every day,” said Tex.
“Me t,” said Indi.
Dad lked n his phne t learn mre abut the birds. It turned ut that millins f birds f different kinds passed by during spring migratin (迁徙).
Althugh the wrkers fixed ur car, by then it was t late t make it t the farm. But my parents let us eat cupcakes—and they were delicius! Anyway, it was a pretty special picnic.
Even thugh smetimes yu can get s discuraged (灰心的) that yu want t give up, dn’t give up! If yu try t stay pen t what’s actually happening arund yu, yu might just discver wnders beside yu.

Nwadays, OpenAI cmpany’s ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sra have been a ht tpic all arund the wrld. But perhaps mst f us have never thught abut what it takes t run such intelligent (智能的) prducts. One thing this technlgy depends n may get yu surprised—plenty f water!
Why des a cmputer prgram need s much water? In fact, in rder t have the ability t write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amunt (数量) f text written by humans. In the prcess, it nt nly uses much electricity but als prduces much heat. S, n ht days, cmputer engineers use water t keep the cmputers cl.
Micrsft has wrked with OpenAI fr years. In a recent reprt, Micrsft shared hw much water was used frm 2021 t 2022. The ttal amunt f water used in cling machines is enugh t fill mre than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pls. It is believed the training f AI systems leads t the big rise.
Usually, AI super-cmputing centers lie in places that are cl fr mst f the year. These centers can just use utside air t cl the cmputers. But in summer, the temperature ges t 30℃. The cmputer engineers have t use a large amunt f water t cl all the machines.
ChatGPT als “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have wrked ut the envirnmental csts f using AI prducts. Fr a cnversatin f 20 t 50 questins and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bttle f water, abut 500ml. The exact amunt f water used in chatting changes with the seasns.
Many peple are unaware f the prblem. If yu dn’t knw hw many resurces ChatGPT uses, hw can yu help t save water? The next time yu are amazed at hw smart ChatGPT is, think abut hw much water it’s “drinking”. Why nt reduce the time f talking t machines—t help save the Earth’s water resurces!
Hw “thirsty” are AI systems?
