OpenAI Reveals Environmental Impact of ChatGPT

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently disclosed the environmental cost of using ChatGPT, aiming to address growing public interest in the sustainability of AI tools. In an official post on X (formerly Twitter), Altman revealed that a single ChatGPT query consumes only 0.34 watt-hours of electricity and 0.000085 gallons of water, equivalent to the power a lightbulb uses in a couple of minutes and just a fraction of a teaspoon of water.
