Chatting with artificial intelligence has now become an ordinary part of life. In the morning, the applications that remind our agent, the virtual assistants who help our children’s homework, the programs that prepare a presentation for us at work… We are talking to them all. Moreover, often seem to talk to someone real: “Please do this?”, “Thank you very much”, “Health to your hands!” With a polite as if …
But have you ever thought, can these elegant sentences be a price?
Gentle sentences, high energy consumption
In every conversation with artificial intelligence, giant servers working in the background are conducting billions of operations at the same time. And the more detailed, long and gentle response to what we say… The more processing it spends. Each “Please” or “Thank you” When we say, the system works harder to produce a longer response. This means more electricity consumption.
Electricity means energy; Energy means cost. Moreover, this is not only an economic burden, but also an environmental cost. It has many chain effects such as cooling of data centers, carbon release and sustainability of infrastructure.
It is possible to simplify without rough
Of course to anyone “Don’t be polite while talking to artificial intelligence” We can’t say. However, it is possible to develop a little more awareness in our relationship with technology. Just as we be careful not to waste water at home, how we close unnecessary lights… Maybe it can be a good step to shorten some things and reduce repetitions while chatting with artificial intelligence.
This is an attitude change. Simplify without rough. Balance between ethical communication and environmental responsibility.
Artificial intelligence is now in our lives. We talk to him, consult him, sometimes we even share our secrets. Of course we will continue to thank. But knowing that giant systems work behind these small sentences, each word may have a price… Makes us a more conscious user.
After that “You’re welcome” While writing, maybe we remember this:
It is nice to be gentle… But it is much stronger to be conscious.
