Training and running systems such as ChatGPT requires huge amounts of the liquid, which could be problematic for areas facing drought or limited supply
You might not realize it, but each time you interact with ChatGPT or some other cloud-based artificial-intelligence technology, water evaporates into thin air.
All else being the same, “the bigger model, in general, is going to consume more resources and more water,” said Shaolei Ren, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC Riverside, who has studied the technology’s water requirements. If you factor in the amount of water per kilowatt-hour needed to cool the power plants that provided the electricity needed to train GPT-3, another 4.7 million liters of water was evaporated off-site, according to Ren’s research.

That’s about the equivalent of what 73 American families use at home in a year.
