Scary facts about ChatGPT’s environmental impact 😱

We all know how helpful ChatGPT can be – whether it’s drafting emails, doing research, or answering quick questions. But have you thought about the environmental impact of using it daily?

We recently came across some stats that have been haunting us ever since:

😱 ChatGPT uses up to 25 times more energy than a Google search

😱 A single conversation with 20-50 queries uses half a liter of water

😱 Training a ChatGPT model can emit 502 tonnes of carbon – equivalent to the yearly emissions of 113 cars

With data about factors like occupancy and indoor air quality, companies can make sure they’re providing an optimal environment, and employees can make informed decisions about working in high-performance spaces.
