In the late 2000s there was a push by a lot of businesses to not print emails and people use to add a ‘Please consider this environment before printing this email.’
Considering how bad LLMs/‘ai’ are with power consumption and water usage a new useless tag email footer should be made.
Well, that depends on workload and the employer. If you are one of the lucky ones where it’s just important that shit gets done on time, it would result it lower usage. That’s on the employer, not on the LLM.
3W/request (4W if you include training the model) is nothing compared to what we use in our everyday life, and it’s even less when looking what other activities consume. Noone would have an issue with you running a blender for 30 seconds, even tho it’s the same energy usage as an Chatbot request.
