The Carbon Cost of AI
What's the environmental price?
Every time you generate an AI image, ask ChatGPT a question, or use any AI tool, you're consuming energy and producing carbon emissions.
You're about to generate 10 AI images. Watch the environmental cost add up in real-time.
Note: This experience uses cached placeholder images and simulates the environmental cost. The actual carbon emissions shown are based on real-world data for AI image generation.
Before we start, some context:
Training GPT-3 emitted 552 tons of CO2 — equivalent to 123 cars driven for a year
A single ChatGPT query uses 10x more energy than a Google search
ChatGPT processes 1 billion queries per day
