Please explain your point better as well as break down what the water is used for in both cases and provide relevant reliable resources. Posting a graph with no context and a minimal caption still makes you sound pro-ai so please get better at explaining your point from jump.

Oh, and don’t just spam links in the comments like you have previously. It just looks like you looked them up on the fly. If you have a legitimate comparison to make find peer-reviewed articles or even write your own, just stop posting a graph like it means something without data to back it up.

Like me previously? I’m not pro ai i fucking hate the damage it’s doing to our society and world. My point is that if we are concerned about water use and land use, then we can start by also cutting down on our beef and meat consumption which uses far more land and water than AI could ever hope to use. The majority of the worlds farmland is used for animal agriculture or feeding meats and cutting down on that would have a much larger positive effect on the environment

People suddenly start caring about water usage and pollution when it begins to impact their communities negatively through data centers built in the US. All while the meat you enjoy is grown from soy plantations farmed in the global south where indigenous groups have BEEN fighting for their land and their rights over centuries of colonialism just so we in the US can have cheap meat

Water is used in data centres for cooling while for agriculture it’s used for watering crops (which drains aquifers) sustaining animals as they’re being fattened up and in the meatpacking process (which is a smaller portion of its use) No I did not use ai to look this up
