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

The huge data centers being built still pollute the surrounding areas, and most are being allowed variances from EPA standards to contaminate beyond what is normally acceptable

I’m with op, you guys can’t recognize that she’s on YOUR SIDE, there’s just other activities that use even more water and pollute 😭😭🤦🏽‍♀️

no shade imma keep eating meat

Given the current daily number of queries is 2.5 billion, the daily water used by ChatGPT according to your graph is 8333333.33 repeating.

as an electronics engineer, this isn’t really how this works. the water cooling systems are running constantly no matter how many queries there are in any given time, unlike the way you can equate x number of cows to x number of beef patties; it is the level of demand for the product that is causing overall detrimental impact and causing new facilities to open, whether your specific query is using them or not. while both are not ideal for the environment, it’s not a 1:1 comparison.

Respectfully both you are arguing dishonestly and I’m not engaging anymore. My point has been clear from the start that we should recognize the negative affects of all these things

Yes and data centers are not just used for AI, social media platforms uses them too among other things

That doesn’t minimize their effects. Data centers are bad for everyone except the company that bought the land

I agree.. data centers are bad but also the water consumption in the meat industry is also bad. You agree?

I’m just pointing out that data centers are used for more than ai, streaming services rely on them a social media platforms do as well. We should be cognizant of that.

A bottle of beer and a cup of coffee are also worst than using chat gpt, even a gallon of almond milk can be worse than a hamburger in terms of water consumption. But daily, does chat gpt only take 300 inquiries? Are people usually eating a hamburger daily?

Ofc people eat less burger than they search on ChatGPT. Thats where the 1 gallon vs 660 gallons comes into play. Why can’t we recognize that both these behaviors carry harm?

Every behavior carries harm. You didn’t even care to recognize the other stuff I had. But if “one hamburger” has so much water then let’s hope daily that under 198,000 inquiries are made daily.

It’s not just hamburgers it’s the entire meat industry. The graph just compares hamburger for simplicity. And dairy milk still uses more water than almond milk, but yes I recognize that both use water(all crops use water)

Meat will always use more water bc it takes water to produce the feed fed to the animals

Also the whole argument about cow’s milk being less “sustainable” than plant milk is in bad faith because it’s clear that a majority of the water is used to water the cow herself, not the production milk like almond or rice.

The water used to feed the cow ofc should be factored in whattt??? And this graph only factors in hamburgers not the rest of the meat industry. And you fail to recognize the social media and streaming services that use data centers

Except your argument isn’t about streaming services, it’s about ChatGPT queries. Don’t try and make a different point now that someone did the math. The way you slapped the graph of water consumption by milk type out of context shows that you just want people to blindly believe what your posting and not do any research or critical thinking of their own just agree with you.

That has been my argument babe

OP 1w

It also doesn’t take into account things like how much milk is produced using that amount of water or how many hamburgers come from one cow. Your argument is flawed from start to finish and I’m not gonna sit here and blindly agree because you threw some graphs around.

OP 1w

jsyk it doesn’t take one cow to make one burger. different types of meat and different cuts of meat exist because they use the whole cow to make the meat not just one part of it 😭

I understand that I’ve upset some people by pointing out how their environmentalism is imperfect, but please do not misrepresent my argument. It has always been about ai, social media, steaming, AND the meat industry.

It’s literally per liter of milk, it is factored in😭

OP 1w

Expect that was not the math I did, I did the math for ChatGPT queries. I focused on two of the arguments because that the data I have. Even if it is part of the argument it still doesn’t change the fact that you’re using out of context graphs in your arguments.

Anonymous 1w

which is a lot less than using AI. You’re making like five different arguments

I think their point is two things can be true at once. We know AI is bad but also they’re trying to open your eyes to other very daily and routine things that are also bad

I could be totally wrong but that’s at least what I’m getting from this
