亮点原创·Nowadays, OpenAI company's ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sora have been a hot topic all around the world. But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent(智能的) products. One thing this technology depends on may get you s 1 —plenty of water!
Why does a computer programme need so much water? In fact, in order to have the a 2 to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large n 3 of texts written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.
Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is e 4 to fill more than 2,500 Olympic - sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems l 5 to the big rise.

Many people aren't a 9 of the problem. If you don't know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water?

一、首字母填空。
亮点原创·如今，OpenAI公司的ChatGPT、Dall - E和Sora在全球范围内成为热门话题。但也许我们大多数人从未想过运行这样的智能产品需要什么。这项技术所依赖的一件事可能会让你感到惊讶——大量的水！
为什么一个计算机程序需要这么多水呢？事实上，为了拥有像人类一样写作的能力，一个人工智能系统必须首先研究大量由人类撰写的文本。在这个过程中，它不仅消耗大量电力，还会产生大量热量。所以，在炎热的日子里，计算机工程师用水来使计算机保持凉爽。
微软多年来一直与OpenAI合作。在最近的一份报告中，微软分享了2021年至2022年的用水量。用于冷却机器的总水量足以填满2500多个奥运会标准尺寸的游泳池。人们认为人工智能系统的训练导致了（用水量的）大幅上升。
通常，人工智能超级计算中心位于一年中大部分时间都比较凉爽的地方。这些中心只需利用外界空气来冷却计算机。但在夏天，温度会上升到30℃。计算机工程师不得不使用大量的水来冷却所有的机器。
ChatGPT在聊天时也会“喝水”。科学家们已经算出了使用人工智能产品的环境成本。对于一场有20到50个问答的对话，ChatGPT会用完一瓶水，大约500毫升。聊天时使用的准确水量会随着季节变化。
很多人没有意识到这个问题。如果你不知道ChatGPT消耗多少资源，你怎么能帮助节约用水呢？下次当你对ChatGPT的智能感到惊讶时，想想它“喝”了多少水。为什么不减少与机器交谈的时间——以帮助节约地球的水资源呢？

Dear Helen Keller,
My name is Amelia Grant. I live in a small city. There, my father has an oil factory. At the age of eight, something terrible happened while I 1 playing near an oil well. It made me lose most of my hearing.
A lot has changed for me 2 then. For one thing, I cannot hear music like before. I used to love listening to my mother sing songs. When I first lost my hearing, I was sad that I 3 never again hear my mother sing. But now I put my ear to her chest 4 the vibrations(震动) of her voice. Now, I feel music instead of hearing it.
Also, I have to go to 5 different school in another city—Texas School for the Deaf. It is over 300 kilometres away from my hometown. The teachers there are kind, 6 I can only see my parents during holidays. I miss them very much.
During 7 last winter holiday, my daddy gave me a book you wrote, The Story of My Life. From it, I learnt a lot about you. When you first became deaf and blind, you had a hard time showing people 8. Because of this, you would sometimes get mad and make 9 noises.
Now I know your feelings and I 10 by your book. I'm going to write to you in a few days to tell you more.
Yours,
Amelia Grant

亲爱的海伦·凯勒：
我的名字叫阿米莉亚·格兰特。我住在一个小城市里。在那里，我父亲有一家石油厂。八岁的时候，我在一口油井附近玩耍时，可怕的事情发生了。这件事让我失去了大部分听力。
从那以后，我的生活发生了很多变化。一方面，我不能像以前那样听音乐了。我过去很喜欢听妈妈唱歌。当我第一次失去听力时，我很伤心，因为我再也不能听到妈妈唱歌了。但现在我把耳朵贴在她的胸口，去感受她声音的震动。现在，我是去感受音乐，而不是听音乐。
而且，我不得不去另一座城市的一所不同的学校——德克萨斯聋人学校。它离我的家乡有300多公里远。那里的老师很和蔼，但我只能在假期里见到我的父母。我非常想念他们。
在上一个寒假期间，爸爸给了我一本你写的书——《我的生活故事》。从这本书里，我了解到很多关于你的事情。当你第一次变得又聋又盲的时候，你很难向人们表达你想要什么。因为这个原因，你有时会生气，还会发出很大的噪音。
现在我理解你的感受了，而且我被你的书所鼓舞。过几天我会给你写信，告诉你更多的事情。
你的，
阿米莉亚·格兰特
