Goldman Sachs: ChatGPT Queries Use 10x More Electricity and Half a Liter of Water per 20 Queries, Increasing OpenAI Costs

The use of ChatGPT, an AI language model developed by OpenAI, has been found to consume substantially more resources compared to traditional internet searches. According to a report by Goldman Sachs, each ChatGPT-4 query requires approximately ten times more electricity than a standard Google search without AI-generated summaries. Additionally, on average, 20 ChatGPT queries consume about half a liter of water, reflecting the significant water usage associated with data center operations. The high computational demand for generating real-time responses to user inputs leads to increased electricity consumption, which translates into millions of dollars in operational costs for OpenAI. Experts have highlighted the environmental impact of AI systems, emphasizing the growing energy and water consumption as these technologies become more integrated into daily life.
