A funny question recently went viral: 'How much money does OpenAI lose because people say 'Please' or 'Thank you' to AI all the time?' However, there is a serious truth hidden behind this joke. Actually, every time we talk to AI, even if there is one extra word, it consumes Energy.

Huge servers run continuously in the background. They require electricity, a lot of water, and immense computing power. Due to this massive operation, water and electricity consumption is drastically increasing.

For instance, for Microsoft's AI maintenance, their water usage increased by 1.7 billion gallons in a single year. That is equivalent to the total daily water consumption of Dhaka city, which is home to 35 million people.
