Artificial intelligence(AI) can now do amazing things. ChatGPT is an AI that can answer questions, tell stories, and do much more. But it's very" thirsty", said a new study.
When ChatGPT works, its" home"- data(数据) centers around the world- gets very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down. Cold water goes into pipes(管道) near the computers at these centers. Because the computers are very hot, the water turns into vapor(水蒸气) and goes into the air. The water needs to be super clean. If they use sea water, it can eat away the pipes.
If you ask ChatGPT 20 to 50 questions, it needs to" drink"a 500- milliliter bottle of water. When people trained ChatGPT, it used 700,000 liters of water, said the study. This is the amount that is needed to make about 370 cars.
ChatGPT is not the only one that needs data centers. Everything you do on the internet needs data centers to work. There are more than 8,000 data centers in the world, said a report in 2021. The number is still growing. If AI keeps using a lot of water, we may have to" fight" with AI for water.

With the development of society, our living conditions have improved, and our world has changed greatly. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} as for the environment, some problems have appeared together with the social development.
Human activities cause many problems for our planet. For example, sea level has {#blank#}2{#/blank#} by 15 cm over the past century. The Amazon rainforest level has reduced by 17% in the last 50 years because farmers cut down the trees for {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. People killed a lot of animals and the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of animals has dropped.
The earth's temperature is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} than before, and it turns more ice into water, so the oceans and land have changed, too. Some animals and plants couldn't keep up with the changes, so they disappeared {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Unless we change our {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, our future in a hundred years' time won't be hopeful. To solve the problem, we should take action at once. First of all we should choose green {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to go to work or go to school as much as possible. Next, we should say "No" {#blank#}9{#/blank#} water and food waste. What's more, we should build parks to protect some of the land. Trees will be planted in the parks, and those parks also give animals places to live. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} living environment will be better and greener.
