Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and AI startup Hugging Face collaborated to see the carbon footprint of all those whimsical AI images<\/a> we\u2019ve generated over the last few years. They discovered that creating an image using artificial intelligence uses the same energy as charging a smartphone. Generating text, whether a conversation with a chatbot or cleaning up an essay, predictably requires much less energy. The researchers examined 13 tasks, ranging from summarization to text classification, and measured the carbon dioxide produced per every 1,000 grams.<\/p>\n

The researchers urge machine learning scientists and practitioners to \u201cpractice transparency regarding the nature and impacts of their models, to enable better understanding of their environmental impacts.\u201d Take ChatGPT, OpenAI\u2019s chatbot. It has upward of 10 million users per day and 100 million monthly active users. That\u2019s a lot of energy.<\/p>\n

One woman, writer-comedian Tessa Coates, stood in front of a mirror, but with three different arm positions. How? Well, it\u2019s likely she was moving at the instant the photo was taken, so the algorithm stitched the photo together from multiple images \u2014 exactly what the iPhone and other phones do to capture more information and synthesize better images. It appears the algo considered each figure a separate woman, capturing her at different points at different places in the image. But it\u2019s no blue-or-gold-dress conundrum, is it?<\/p>\n
