How does a query to GPT-4 compare to driving a car?
A single query to GPT-4 with a 10,000-word answer size produces 450 gCO2e (*). An average UK car produces 132 gCO2e/km. So this query is equivalent to driving a car 3.4 km.
(*) https://wimvanderbauwhede.codeberg.page/articles/google-search-vs-chatgpt-emissions/ and assuming 100 words for the queries in that article; in reality it is probably closer to 30 words, but I prefer to be conservative.

*FLASHBACK*
Remember when they emphasized that about #Covid so they sent kids back to school & that continues to keep Covid going strong & how *surprise* a lot of college kids now have #LongCovid? Yeah? Ok good. Keep remembering as this potentially becomes a pandemic.
