OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says an average ChatGPT query uses about 0.000085 gallons of water – around one fifteenth of a teaspoon – and 0.34 watt-hours of energy, similar to what an oven uses in a second. In a blog post, he predicts the cost of intelligence will eventually align with electricity costs. His comments come amid growing concerns over the environmental impact of AI, including energy and water usage.
