With the help of ChatGPT and other tools, generative AI has been integrated online more quickly than ever, putting pressure on data centers and increasing energy and water use. Even though businesses like Microsoft and Google are attempting to lessen their environmental impact, there are still issues with AI's increasing computational demands. Though smaller models and more energy-efficient hardware are viable options, the widespread usage of AI makes responsible energy use more difficult.
