AI isn't magic; it's math and metal, and it has a monster appetite for electricity. In this episode, host Emily Laird digs into the eco-footprint of Generative AI, from training models that suck down enough power to juice 120 homes, to chatbot sessions that drain half a liter of water per flirty Q&A. Emily also unpacks why your helpful bot might be thirstier than a frat house in July, how AI already outpaces aviation in emissions, and whether “green AI” can actually save us from an e-waste apocalypse. It’s the environmental cost of thinking machines, served with stats, sass, and just a little guilt.
