Your AI prompt is thirsty. Like, really thirsty. ????
We often think of AI as living "in the cloud," but the physical reality is massive data centers that generate intense heat. To keep them cool, companies pump in millions of liters of fresh water.
In fact, training a model like GPT-3 consumed roughly 700,000 liters of water—enough to fill a nuclear reactor's cooling tower. Even a simple chat with an AI bot can consume a standard water bottle's worth of cooling resources.
In this short video:
How data centers use water for cooling.
The environmental footprint of GPT-3.
The hidden physical cost of digital prompts.
