What is the carbon emission of #ChatGPT ?. I gave ChatGPT (https://lnkd.in/dJSrwx8a) a try today on my favourite topic - “Technology and Sustainability” and found the response and follow-up very well structured.

It would be interesting to see how much carbon emissions were generated to train such large models and for inference/response.  
I also asked this question to ChatGPT :) but got errors multiple times.

Q: Explain technology sustainability in simple terms

Technology sustainability refers to the use of technology in a way that is environmentally friendly and does not deplete natural resources. This can involve using renewable energy sources to power technology, using technology to reduce waste and pollution, and designing technology to be long-lasting and easily repairable. Essentially, the goal of technology sustainability is to ensure that our use of technology does not harm the environment or contribute to climate change.

Q: How can software professionals embrace technology sustainability?

Software professionals can embrace technology sustainability in a number of ways. Some examples include:  
Educating themselves about the environmental impacts of the technology they work with and the role that software can play in addressing these impacts.  
Incorporating sustainability principles into their work, such as by designing software that is energy-efficient and uses renewable resources.  
Advocating for the use of sustainable technology within their organizations and the broader industry.  
Supporting the development of sustainable technology solutions, such as through research and development or investment in sustainable technology startups.  
Collaborating with other professionals, organizations, and communities to promote the use of sustainable technology.  
Ultimately, embracing technology sustainability requires a commitment to ongoing learning, innovation, and collaboration. Software professionals can play a vital role in advancing technology sustainability by using their skills and expertise to develop solutions that are environmentally friendly and support the long-term health of our planet.
