Wow, that's pretty scary. Thank-you for your attention to this topic and to sharing it with us. It is already such an easy way to find answers that we simply don't even think of the cost of a little quick question. Just wondering, is GPS also built using AI processes? I'm curious to know how much of what we already use regularly is actually AI with an older name. And/or how much AI has reached into supporting those kind of now standard processes? And, if so, what strategies can we use to limit how much we are actually using AI unwittingly? So much to think about and so much that the companies do not want us to think about!!
I think that the energy consumption of datacenter infrastructure has always been a worrying topic, but the adoption of LLMs such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini have taken it to a whole new level.
GPS is not AI, but modern navigation apps use AI to predict traffic, one could argue that it's at least offsetting a bit of their carbon footprint by helping transport to be more efficient, but as we’ve seen in the article, it’s not enough.

There’s a lot to think about!
