"Typical Chat-GPT query uses about 10 times more energy than Google search That’s just for a basic generative AI function. More advanced queries require substantially more power that have to go through an AI Cluster Farm to process large-scale computing between multiple machines."

"AI is typically deployed in 20-30 cabinet clusters at or above 40 KW per cabinet. This represents a fourfold increase in KW/ cabinet with the deployment of AI. The difference is staggering."

I sat down with two cooling experts to find out what AI's biggest problem is in the data center

What they told me could force a total rethink of data center design

@gerrymcgovern I love how a lot of people think it's either Google search or some crap 'AI' tool. I still do web searches myself, using DuckDuckGo (*not* its 'AI' assistant). I never used an 'AI' tool, never felt the need to, and I've always been able to find what I was looking for without feeling it took me too much time. And even if it takes some time, I learn more in the process. I train *myself*, and I trust my method & judgement more than a packaged 'AI' response/result.
@morrick Exactly. It used ChatGPT once for a specific research project I had substantial expertise in. I found it mediocre at best. Searching and research are skills.
