The water footprint of Artificial Intelligence The ecological consequences of using GPT Chat

The controversy over this tool revolves around the use of millions of liters of water that demands to create content with AI. In this note we give you all the details. Through Facebook, a Ghibli-style image was viralized by the team of presenters of the magazine El Mañanero de la Red Uno, along with a text that says: “How do we see ourselves from hentai?” (sic).

Channel C ChatGPT and water consumption: the hidden cost of the Ghibli photos The networks were filled with "chibbling" portraits with AI, that fleeting fashion that turns selfies into scenes from Studio Ghibli. But behind the digital charm there is a raw fact: every image generated consumes drinking water, an increasingly scarce resource. Servers like ChatGPT and DALL-E require constant cooling, and even though companies speak of "digital cloud…

It is believed that the Studio Ghibli-style images caused the waste of 200 million liters of water needed to cool the servers. The risks of progress, from the perspective of Argentine experts.

The growing demand for AI-generated illustrations, such as those inspired by Studio Ghibli, poses environmental challenges related to water consumption in data centers The ethical debate with the use of Ghibli Miyazaki-style images already loaded

According to a new study, training a single large language model such as GPT-3, so that AI imaging tools perform Studio Ghibli-style productions or applications such as DALL-E or Midjourney can be operational, results in evaporation of up to 5.4 million litres of water. This figure includes server cooling, through water-based systems in data centers, and water indirectly used in electricity generation.

Guanajuato, Mexico.- Artificial intelligences such as Grok, Meta IA, ChatGPT and many more are used by users to answer all kinds of questions thus taking on a high relevance today. However, these programs use a huge amount of natural resources, including water. So it has generated a strong environmental impact in recent years.
