ChatGPT was released on November 30, 2022, and has created an easier way for students to get information without having to navigate through Google.

While ChatGPT is primarily used for natural language understanding and generation, there are many different ways to use the source.

This source can be used whether you are looking for a peer review of an essay or simply looking for the answers to an FRQ( free response question). 

The quick response time is one of the leading factors of this search engine. Each question answered leads to high levels of water use.

While it is obvious that the search engine uses electricity to create responses to questions it also uses gallons of water. 

You may be wondering how a search engine uses a natural resource. Well, I thought the same thing so here is how this commonly used app uses an immense amount of resources.

ChatGPT itself doesn’t directly use water, but gallons of water are used to cool the servers that generate responses to any question. It can use up to 1 liter of water per question. 

While that may not be a lot in retrospect some users search for up to 30 questions a day. 

“Honestly, I always have ChatGPT up. I probably use it a couple of times a day,” said Issac Rivas, sophomore.  

Not only does ChatGpt use lots of water, but this search engine also uses lots of energy. Which results in emissions of carbon dioxide. 

Each month, the AI chatbot produces more than 260,930 kilograms of CO2—equal to the carbon emissions of 260 flights from New York City to London. Although convenient ai can answer questions quickly, the resource use and environmental turmoil, it can result in is extensive.
