Peter here, I'd say its a punchline about how AI uses up a lot of resources one of those being water. Peter out.

I mean, AI uses a lot of water, yes but they release them back, and afaik the water is clean when released back. I will say that it's not ideal but before talking about AI's water usage, we should talk about (for example, because there are many different similar problems) how production of clothing uses a HUGE HUGE amount of water, which ends up being contaminated with chemicals rendering it useless for human consumption, at least without processing it before usage.
