Even the AI overview on Google would use a ton of water too.
Thats why I use DuckDuckGo
I swear, sometimes I think its on purpose, it destroying the environment is a feature not a bug.
I think about the movie Wall-E a lot nowadays. Disney puts a lot of sketchy stuff in their movies. Maybe it was predictive programming and theyre destroying earth on purpose for that reason, so it can be like the movie

Do you actually understand where the water goes or are you just reading things and vomiting them back up at us

Why is ChatGPT drinking all our water? It’s not. If water is involved it’s for cooling the datacenter which is a closed loop system.

They control the weather to make the floods to power the machines!
Typically stated AI water use is highly misleading and overblown

The real problem is when they’re built in basically deserts, where the chance of drought is already possible for the community.
They should be built in a mostly cold environment, that doesn’t compete with a community for a water source.
Most of the water evaporates, and eventually they have to dump the mineral rich water into the local system which needs treatment to be drinkable.
This is just dumb for places like Arizona or Florida.

Build the data centers! Whoop whoop

The OP doesn’t state what that 700k is actually coming from. – the entire training process for one model? It’s certainly not per query, which is estimated at something like 25ml.
You know it takes 8000 liters of water to produce one pound of beef? A quarter-pounder from McDonald’s is the equivalent of 10,000 ChatGPT queries.

Golf courses use the same amount of water as a data center. Where’s the outrage on that.

I see someone never learned the water cycle

So why isn’t AI being banned or at least constrained on environmental grounds?

I’m more concerned by my tripled power bill than I am more water being evaporated at a faster rate.
Which… Yeah. Fuck those data centers.

Doesnt matter. AI is here and isnt going anywhere. We have to figure out energy production right now today.

„Uses 700000 litres of fresh water“ is a lie. – have been engineering industrial cooling for server farms for 25 years….
Requires 700000L of throughput to cool maybe, but even thats a nonsense measurement that doesnt mean a whole heap unless other context is applied
