In another thread someone brought it up so I did some quick math to see if it was true:
Gta5 cost $300 million. 4000 developers each with the latest GPU burning hundreds of watts per employee to create the assets. A rough estimate of 750watt pc, 4,000 developers, 8 hour a day, 300 days a year, 5 years = 36 giga watt-hours. That’s the energy to power 3.6 million homes for a year and I’m not even including the HVAC costs of the office space. For 1 game.
AI training energy use is small in comparison. ChatGPT 4 cost $80m to train.
I addressed that in my second paragraph.

it’s okay, Rockstar is only launching one game every 15 years now /s
If gta5 was the only game sold, it wouldn’t be an energy issue!
