OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently shared that using polite language with Chatgpt, like saying “please” and “thank you”, actually costs the company tens of millions in electricity. That’s because tools like ChatGPT rely on massive data centres powered by energy-hungry GPUs. Even a single AI response, like a short message, can use around 0.14 kWh of electricity, the same as keeping 14 LED bulbs on for an hour.
A 2024 survey found:
67% of Americans regularly use polite language with chatbots
55% think it’s simply the right thing to do
12% say it’s just in case AI takes over one day
