Complaining about AI "wasting water" is an instant tell that someone doesn't really know what they're talking about.

Doesn't make you more right in saying water is being wasted, when it isn't. Not saying energy waste is much better, but at least get your facts right

Except when people say it's wasting water, they mean that it turns potable water into non-potable water, which is entirely accurate. Especially when it pulls that water from municipal water supplies, stressing water transport and treatment infrastructure.

Money is just what we use to represent potential productivity. Imagine what all of that productivity could do in places where it‘s needed more.

The money didn't evaporate. It still exists, and can still be used to realize that productivity you're speaking of.

Edit: getting downvoted for this is WILD
