OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that politeness towards AI, particularly ChatGPT, incurs higher electricity bills, amounting to tens of millions of dollars. A survey indicated that 67% of U.S. AI users are polite, with a notable minority doing so out of concern for a possible AI uprising. This politeness may enhance AI responsiveness but also incurs a significant energy cost, as reported by the Electric Power Research Institute, stating that ChatGPT uses considerably more energy per interaction compared to standard Google searches.
According to a May 2024 report from The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), it takes 10 times more energy to ask ChatGPT a question than to run a standard Google search.
A survey found that 67% of AI users in the U.S. are polite to AI, with 18% doing so to protect themselves against a potential AI uprising.
