So I tracked down the original article and you can make out the actual numbers for water consumption. I also am adding the article I believe she used for this argument which states that Iowa data centers used 11 million gallons of water.

Yes ai use consumes water and it’s unnecessary for us to use ai therefore don’t use it. HOWEVER we should also recognize other things we do that use a lot of water such as scrolling on social media or eating meat

Let it be known that I am now blocked by the OOP because I pointed out her numbers are flawed.

not to mention chatgpt is so much easier to avoid than all animal products. anyone can go without chatgpt. but i’m a college student on a meal plan with limited options and other food sensitivities, going 100% plant based simply isn’t an option for some ppl

I think the argument she was trying to make is that ai is better than agriculture in terms of water consumption but those two things aren’t really comparable and that’s on top of purposely underrepresenting the numbers. Like sure go make a comparison between data centers for different types of internet tools and sites but the hamburger argument is not comparable.
