You know, I'll just have ChatGPT answer the question:

>LLMs use massive computer farms that eat huge amounts of electricity and water to stay cool. Training one model can burn as much power as hundreds of homes do in a year, and running them every day means constant energy draw from data centers, which often still rely on fossil fuels. In short: they’re energy hogs that pump out a lot of carbon for every “smart” answer.

>A 4chan post might use about 0.01 watt-hours (tiny, one short text).

>A Twitter post might use around 0.1 watt-hours (more servers, indexing, and media).

>A ChatGPT response can use 10 to 100 watt-hours, depending on how long it is and which model runs it.
