But while many were enjoying fluffy, AI-generated fun, not everyone was on board. Some people began pushing back, raising concerns over how we use AI for these kinds of tasks, especially when it comes to environmental impact.
Each ChatGPT query is estimated to use about ten times more electricity than a typical Google search. According to the nonprofit research firm Electric Power Research Institute, a ChatGPT request uses 2.9 watt-hours, compared to about 0.3 watt-hours for a single Google query.
Business Energy UK crunched the numbers and estimated that ChatGPT may currently use around 39.98 million kilowatt-hours per day—enough to charge roughly eight million phones.

Besides the environmental cost, critics also say we should support real artists instead of using AI to copy their work.
Many artists are especially concerned about AIs being trained on their unique styles and fear it could eventually push them out of jobs entirely.
British illustrator Dave McKean, known for his work on Batman comics, Alice Cooper album covers, and Stephen King books, told the media:
“I’m under no illusion they’ll just get more and more able to replicate this stuff. Why would anyone pay me to illustrate anything if they can simply tell a computer to do it in my style?”
