      Turning off AI data centers will instantly save water and energy and reduce pollution.

      But the “human counterparts” will still eat and shower if you fire them.

      So unless you are planning to murder all the unemployed people, your argument makes no sense at all.

      If you want me to list the myriad ways that I want humanity to use less water, I can. This just happens to be top of the list because it has no fucking value at all and is expected to use even more than the others.

      I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here, other than you use chatgpt and want to stan for it. Ask it to compare the water use to human counterparts, whatever you mean by that. Or really, don’t because the water that would waste is certainly not worth it.
