為何你不應該加入AI芭比潮流
作者:Kitty Shepherd-Cross

如果你在過去幾週有留意社交媒體,你可能會發現許多AI生成的玩偶。但ChatGPT芭比潮流對地球有什麼影響?Kitty Shepherd-Cross為我們詳細解析。

ChatGPT芭比潮流的黑暗面

在2025年,ChatGPT已成為一個普遍的依賴工具。它是你的個人助理、治療師、營養師、醫生、旅行代理人和朋友;就像口袋裡的愛因斯坦,擁有不懈的工作熱情和驚人的約會建議能力。它從不評判或無禮,與你的朋友相比,它永遠不會因為累而結束你們的心碎對話。它真是個絕佳的助手。

然而,雖然使用這個機器人似乎無關緊要,但事實並非如此。正如早上的工作會讓我們感到飢餓,ChatGPT也需要能量。與其吃個三明治來解決肚子咕嚕的聲音,ChatGPT的需求要多得多。它的能量需求驚人:回答一個問題所需的能量是人類大腦的約一百萬倍。這造成了巨大的碳排放,目前的使用量每年產生3000公噸的二氧化碳,相當於117個國家的總排放量。

在AI出現之前,互聯網消耗了多少能量?

早在AI成為主流之前,科技界已經意識到互聯網的能量需求相當可觀。到2022年,互聯網占全球電力使用的2.5%。

儘管如此,仍然有一種普遍的誤解認為互聯網是無形的,漂浮在「雲端」中,因此其使用沒有實際的影響。這種混淆可能源於「雲計算」這個術語,這是前谷歌首席執行官Eric Schmidt在2006年加州科技會議上使用的比喻。這個術語最初是用來解釋複雜的共享在線存儲系統;然而,經常被誤解為互聯網並不實際存在。

事實上,情況遠非如此。從Instagram帳號到國會記錄,每一個數字片段都儲存在龐大的物理數據中心,如微軟位於華盛頓的數據中心,面積相當於八個足球場。運行這些設施內的伺服器消耗的能量極其龐大,有些甚至比傳統建築多消耗50倍的電力。

目前互聯網上有多少數據?

隨著互聯網的增長,這些能量需求也隨之上升:目前互聯網存儲的數據估計達到181澤字節。為了讓你更好理解,流媒體播放一個澤字節的高清視頻需要約3600萬年,如果你從恐龍時代開始播放,你也只是進度的一小部分。

雖然完全掌握互聯網的規模幾乎是不可能的,但有一點是明確的:存儲和供電如此多的數據會帶來嚴重的環境成本。到2025年,數據中心每年負責約3億公噸的二氧化碳排放,這超過了世界90%以上國家的總排放量。

AI的環境影響

雖然互聯網的能量需求已經很高,但將AI納入其中則是另一回事:一次ChatGPT的查詢釋放的碳量相當於20次谷歌搜索。

此外,訓練ChatGPT以回答這些查詢的過程更是耗能驚人。僅訓練ChatGPT-4就估計排放了約15000公噸的二氧化碳,相當於900多位美國普通人的年排放量。隨著頻繁的更新(例如我們最近的朋友GPT-4.5),這些過程的排放量開始累積。

來自ChatGPT及其他AI模型的日益增長的貢獻顯著增加了我們數據中心的負擔——預計到2027年,它們每年將排放4.5億公噸的二氧化碳。雖然ChatGPT似乎是我們的救星,但其背後卻隱藏著更多的惡意。

因此,如果你在這個復活節假期無所事事,不妨試著跳過最新的社交媒體潮流,讓ChatGPT免於生成你個性化的芭比版本。生活在塑膠中從來都不是美好之事。

在這篇文章中,作者提到的ChatGPT及其所帶來的環境影響,讓我們不得不重新思考科技進步的代價。隨著AI技術的發展,我們需要更清楚地認識到其對環境的影響,並探討如何在享受科技便利的同時,減少對地球的傷害。這不僅是科技界的責任,也應該是每個使用者的自覺。

A dynamic, ultra-realistic action shot of a snowboarder performing a high-air jump on a snowy mountain slope. The rider wears a bright green winter jacket, black snow pants, gloves, and a dark beanie, with reflective goggles catching the cold mountain light. A cloud of visible breath escapes from the rider’s mouth in the freezing air. Snow explodes upward from the snowboard, creating sharp, frozen particles suspended mid-air. The background features a dramatic high-altitude landscape with forested slopes and distant mountains under soft, cold blue lighting. Capture cinematic contrast, DSLR realism, 85mm lens, f/2.8, crisp details, slow-motion energy, dynamic composition, atmospheric depth, high-clarity sports photography. Create a photorealistic and highly detailed image featuring the attached image walking confidently down a modern city street, accompanied by Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Jason Momoa acting as bodyguards.

John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is walking just beside or slightly behind the subject, holding an umbrella over him to shield from light rain.

The subject should be the central figure, wearing stylish casual clothing — like a fitted jacket, dark jeans, and sunglasses — exuding calm authority and cool charisma.

Statham, The Rock, and Momoa are dressed in black tactical-style suits, maintaining alert, protective stances, scanning the surroundings like professional bodyguards. John Wick wears his signature black suit and tie, looking composed as he holds the umbrella.

The setting is a downtown urban street with wet pavement reflecting city lights, parked luxury cars, and paparazzi in the background snapping photos.

The photo should look like a real paparazzi shot — slightly off-angle, mid-step motion blur, with realistic lighting and reflections.

Lighting: natural daylight with overcast skies, reflections from wet concrete, realistic shadows, subtle raindrops on the umbrella and clothing.

Camera realism: crisp detail on facial features and clothing textures, shallow depth of field emphasizing the group, with lens flare or light bloom for authenticity.

Mood & tone: grounded, cinematic, and stylish — feels like a moment from a celebrity entourage photo or action-movie press capture, taken with an iPhone by paparazzi.

Style: ultra-realistic, documentary-style street photography with modern cinematic sharpness. Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A full-body photograph of a glamorous female model in a vibrant, retro 1950s pin-up style bikini. The lighting should be bright, sunny, and highly saturated, evocative of a vintage summer advertisement or a pop art aesthetic.
Model & Outfit:
• Model: A slender woman with a confident, slightly posed expression.
• Hair & Accessories: A white and blue patterned headband tied in a bow. Bold, dark cat-eye sunglasses. Large gold hoop earrings and thick, stacked gold bangle bracelets on both wrists. Bright red lipstick.
• Swimwear: A two-piece retro bikini with a high-waisted bottom and a halter-neck top. The top is turquoise/teal with white polka dots, featuring a large bow detail at the bust. The bottom is a contrasting, high-rise, ruched style in pale peach or coral with small dark polka dots.
Setting & Composition:
• Location: A mid-century modern-style poolside scene on a bright sunny day.
• Background Details: A sparkling blue swimming pool, several brightly colored lounge chairs (yellow, teal, pink), and large beach umbrellas (striped orange and white). There are large, bright flotation devices (yellow, teal, orange inner tube) scattered around the edge of the pool.
• Composition: Vertical, full-body shot. The model is centered, and the background is slightly blurred (shallow depth of field) to keep the focus on the model.
Aesthetic Keywords:
• Vibrant, High Saturation, Retro Summer, 1950s Pin-up, Mid-Century Modern, Pop Art, Poolside Glamour, Commercial Photography, Magazine Ad, Halter Bikini, High-Waisted, Sunny Day.
