Well by that logic i was destined to go to hell a long time ago when i started driving. My personal annual commute to work creates ten times co2 emissions that the entirety of the energy google used to train chatgpt.
AI datacenters account for less than 10% global co2 emissions. Of course ten percent more global warming is bad, but i personally have several things that contribute more than using AI ten hours a week.
Huh? Google doesn’t own ChatGPT. And no, your personal commute to work isn’t a millionth of a fraction of what is used to train these models.
No, no you don’t.
So where's the other 90+% of carbon emissions coming from globally?
