Altman reveals how much energy a ChatGPT query really uses

SMRTR summary

Sam Altman revealed that a typical ChatGPT query uses about 0.000085 gallons of water and 0.34Wh of energy, equivalent to one-fifteenth of a teaspoon of water and an oven's energy use for just over a second. As AI's energy consumption faces scrutiny, predictions suggest it could surpass Bitcoin mining in power usage by late 2025. Altman forecasts AI intelligence costs may eventually align closely with electricity costs.
