They could have said it cost the same amount of carbon as 25 US drivers emit each year. In the grand scheme of things, that's nothing. That's one long-haul flight per trained model. And you just need to train them once. Querying the models cost far less.
Don't they need to continuously re-train these models as new information comes in? For example, how does Bing bot get new information? It seems like they would need to routinely keep it up-to-date with its own index.
A question as an ignorant layperson, if I may:
