⚡️🌍🌊 NEWS - Generating a "starter pack" image using artificial intelligence consumes between 2 and 5 liters of water.

Around 700 million "starter pack" and "Studio Ghibli" images have already been created.

The calculation gives 1.4 to 3.5 billion liters of water for 700 million AI images (2-5 liters per image). The water for these images is equivalent to the daily consumption of 4.1 to 10.3 million people.

Carbon accounting all over again. The only thing that wouldn’t be highly subject to goofy BS would be scope 1, and most serious cooling systems are closed loop, so they don’t “consume” water, especially at the pace of 2-5 L/30seconds
