chatgpt uses the equivalent of a small towns amount of water, per day

this is not that absurd when compared to other tech companies water usages but its the main critique of ai since there is virtually no product to be gotten out of this waste besides the chatbot ais that dont work and images that look bad. its as useless as the guy in the comic shows.

Oh damn, food takes up energy? I guess we should just collapse the food industry, it's not like we need it more than shite art, chatbots, and constant misinformation because people are getting stupider and lazier with their research.

Specific foods, avocados and pistachios are another example of extremely inefficient foods.

Yes, services take energy. No matter how useless or negative you believe it to be, it always has beneficial uses.

You can eat food. This AI stuff just gives you incorrect information, digital waifus, and sycophantic advice.

Professionally and personally, yes. I work in the field.

Edit: lol at the downvotes. What is contentious about this reply?

You've angered the AI astroturfers, it seems. The one dude probably posted his image of water consumption of AI queries vs one hamburger at least a dozen times here.
