🤖 Every AI prompt you run uses surprising amounts of power and water!
Millions of queries mean millions of environmental costs adding up fast.
Here’s how you can reduce the impact until tech companies address the problem fully:
💬 Ask better prompts – clear, specific, thought out questions means fewer retries.
🔁 Reuse prompts – save good ones as templates instead of retyping new versions.
❌ Skip throw away questions – if it’s just for fun, curiosity, or a quick google would suffice instead, ask yourself if it’s worth it.
🧠 Use AI where it makes sense – not for everything, but where it truly adds value.
⚡️ Be aware of energy use – like water, electricity, or plastic, it's easy to overlook but hugely important.
This isn’t about guilt, it’s just about being conscious how you use it. AI is here to stay, so let’s use it wisely.
Cheers,
