preliminary[edit source]

Need to cover:

  • Water usage
  • Energy usage
  • Manufacturing the electronics, and later disposing of them

Quantify:

  • Impact per chat, per image generated, per song generated, per video generated
    • How it differs by version
    • How it correlates with prices ("pro" tier software probably takes more resources)
    • How it might change over time (improve but not as quickly as moore's law?)
  • Don't need to cover every case, but analyze a few common ones. Ball park figures are good enough for now.

Other stuff for the page:

  • "==See also== AI bubble" - because that's another page regarding "true costs" of AI
