Artificial Intelligence Developments (ChatGPT etc)

[ska invita]

yeah the new $20 or $200 a month Chat GTP Pro sounds like it is way more powerful than what the public has had access to and will be bought by business users in certain fields

its fine for big companies to off whistleblowers but Luigi shoots a CEO and its all 'murder charge' this and 'he shot a family man' that

Had a brief play with ChatGPT image generator. The images I created weren't really photo quality but the exercise was interesting.

ChatGPT consumes just over one 500ml bottle of water per 100-word request.

ChatGPT consumes one 500ml bottle of water per 100-word request, according to research

Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, consume just over one 500ml bottle of water per 100-word request, research by the IET has found.

Presumably generating images is even worse.

If you want to search for something, use a search engine.

I heard every ChatGPT search used the same energy as boiling a kettle.

 

[magneze]

I could believe that. The water usage is only part of the story.

I heard every ChatGPT search used the same energy as boiling a kettle.

That's nothing. Every Bitcoin transaction uses more electricity than an average UK household uses in three months. 850 kWh per transaction!

It fails to link to the actual report and fails to explain what it means by "using" water. For example is it cooling water that gets re-used, or is it just used once and dumped?

Cooling water can’t be reused without being cooled down first. And how are you going to cool it…

I expect the method of cooling depends on multiple things like where the data centre is. But then you are talking about an energy issue rather than a water usage issue.
Also, even if the water is not being re-used, whether that's a problem depends again on whether the data centre is located somewhere with a water shortage.
In any case the article completely fails to give us sufficient information to understand how much of a big deal this "500ml of water per chatgpt search" is, or what that even means.

I think it’s the amount of water that the worker in Bangalore drinks while they’re in the process of answering the query.

For example is it cooling water that gets re-used,

Microsoft claims to be developing that.

 

[tommers]

That 500ml of water thing is a false reading of the report, it's not saying that. I can't remember what it is saying but it doesn't use 500ml of water up.

Today I discovered that every ISBN number is 13 digits long except for two books, that I know about, by Rebellion. The AI that I didn't ask for but which has been stuck into every fucking search engine was quite dismissive.

Additionally, GPT-3 needs to “drink” (i.e., consume) a 500ml bottle of water for roughly 10-50 responses, depending on when and where it is deployed. These numbers may increase for the newly-launched GPT-4 that reportedly has a substantially larger modelsize [39].
