Is Using ChatGPT Bad for the Planet?

In this video, Jon Ross takes a look at some of the information (both reliable and unreliable) out there about ChatGPT’s power consumption. Carbon emissions are associated with both training and executing ChatGPT inferences. Jon goes through some exercises to understand what that means and compares it to operating a motor vehicle. He also talks about some of the potential future uses of ChatGPT, where it should be used, where it shouldn’t, and some improvements that could be made to make everyone’s lives a little easier.
