ChatGPT 5 is the next chapter in artificial intelligence: But is it healthy for the planet?
From enhanced reasoning to reduced hallucinations, ChatGPT 5 is bringing a fresh chapter to the field of artificial intelligence. You can expect a number of benefits at your fingertips, including smarter and faster responses.
ChatGPT 5 is more reliable and accurate in its responses. Because of significantly reduced hallucination rates, this tool is offering more factual and grounded responses – a great update for professionals, educators and researchers across the globe.
But artificial intelligence is also consuming a lot of energy and natural resources, despite making us more efficient in our daily life. Tools are ChatGPT 5 could subject the planet to a lot of harm than good.
Carbon emissions from artificial intelligence infrastructure
ChatGPT, Gemini and other artificial intelligence-supported large language models require enormous computational capabilities – not just during training but also at the time of generating each response. This is concerning.
Many artificial intelligence companies are starting to focus on greener energy to make the planet a better place to reside in. But most training is still happening using energy from fossil fuels. This means our questions and the subsequent responses depend on energy usage.
One training cycle for a large model may emit as much carbon as 5 gasoline cars in their entire lifetime. These emissions contribute directly and significantly to climate change and global heating. It is time to make better decisions and proper energy usage.
