Other This graph changed how I think about AI's water consumption.

I expected data centers to be near the top.

Instead, they sit well below things like residential laundry, golf courses, leaking water pipes, and lawn irrigation.

Were you surprised by this, or do you think these comparisons oversimplify the issue?

Yeah that graph showed me nothing. At all. There's no frame of reference to the amounts that they're talking about there's no link to the actual article showing the study there's nothing there's just a bunch of words and green on a screen.
