¿Cuánta agua consume realmente pedirle algo a ChatGPT?

Artificial Intelligence

Una sola instrucción de IA puede consumir solo unas gotas de agua. Pero la huella hídrica depende de lo que se esté contabilizando y de dónde proceda esa agua.

Why it matters

Every week there is an announcement that promises to change everything, and every week most organisations are still fighting the same battle: messy data, processes nobody documented, and expectations running faster than capability. This story reads better with that in the background.

I measure AI maturity with an uncomfortable question: can anyone explain, in one line, what decision the model makes and who answers if it gets it wrong? Where that is clear, the project moves. Where it is not, it stays in permanent pilot and gets cancelled with the excuse that the technology was not ready.

What usually goes wrong

The mistake I have seen repeat most is measuring nothing before starting. It gets deployed, everybody feels things improved, and when somebody asks by how much, there is no answer. Without a baseline there is no way to defend next year's budget, and that is where good projects die.

What to watch

  • Where the data ends up and under what contract, especially when customer information is involved.
  • Whether the organisation can change provider without rebuilding everything, which is the proof it did not get locked in.
  • Which concrete process is touched and how it is measured before and after; with no baseline there is no result, only opinion.

How I read this entry

If I had to bring this into an organisation, I would start with a boring, measurable process — reconciliation, first-line support, document review — and get it running with a metric before touching anything flashy. The credibility for big projects is bought with a small result nobody can argue with.
