How does a query to GPT-4 compare to driving a car?
A single query to GPT-4 with a 10,000-word answer size produces 450 gCO2e (*). An average UK car produces 132 gCO2e/km. So this query is equivalent to driving a car 3.4 km.

(*) https://wimvanderbauwhede.codeberg.page/articles/google-search-vs-chatgpt-emissions/ and assuming 100 words for the queries in that article; in reality it is probably closer to 30 words, but I prefer to be conservative.
