I was horrified to discover the next (hopefully-not) trend on LinkedIn today! Users are now starting to animate their ChatGPT-generated ActionFigures with Sora.
I admit, it looks fun, is fascinating and invites you to play.
đđŻđ˛đż: đđ đłđżđśđđđ đđťđ˛đżđ´đśđ˛! đ¨đťđą đđđŽđż đťđśđ°đľđ đđ đ¸đťđŽđ˝đ˝!
Just to illustrate the amount of energy we generate with our sometimes thoughtless pastime prompts:
đđśđšđą-đđ˛đťđ˛đżđśđ˛đżđ˛đť đşđśđ đđľđŽđđđŁđ§:
– approx. 0.05 kWh (roughly what the toaster needs to make breakfast)
– approx. 20g CO2
approx. 1.5 cents energy costs
đŠđśđąđ˛đź-đđ˛đťđ˛đżđśđ˛đżđ˛đť đşđśđ đŚđźđżđŽ:
– approx. 3 kWh (approx. 3 machines washing, 45 min car journey, running a small fridge for 3 days)
– approx. 1.4 kg CO2
– approx. 90 cents
Especially here on LinkedIn, many people are talking about sustainability, so I think it’s important to realize that AI is not a gimmick!
đđľđŽđđđŁđ§ đŻđ˛đľđŽđđ˝đđ˛đ đđźđť đđśđ°đľ đđ˛đšđŻđđ, đśđş đđŽđľđż đŽđŹđŽđ° đ°đŽ. đ,đŹđąđľ đ đśđšđšđśđŽđżđąđ˛đť đ¸đŞđľ, đŽđšđđź đđťđ˛đżđ´đśđ˛ đśđş đŞđ˛đżđ đđźđť đ°đŽ. đđ°đŹ đ đśđź $ đđ˛đżđŻđżđŽđđ°đľđ đđ đľđŽđŻđ˛đť.
So I really hope that it stays with generating action figure pictures (cheers to the toaster) and that we leave the 3 washing machines in the basement.

P.S.: I calculated the figures with the help of ChatGPT (cost 0.013 kWh, i.e. 0.39 cents).
P.P.S.: ChatGPT spits this out without any problems if you ask for it…. Prompt: “How much energy has this chat consumed here?”
P.P.S.: yes, I also generated an action figure. But I never shared it (who wants to see something like that from me…)
P.P.P.S.: hand on heart: how many action figures have you created? It’s not like the first shot is always right… the toaster heats up quickly (laugh)…
