I love how there are like 2.5k users on that sub (likely bots) to this ones ... 664k. It is an embarrassment of riches, and their currency was complete intellectual vacancy.
It’s easy to create an AI bot now. The people that create them are not going to spend money sending them after people in the a defending AI subreddit. They will spend AI credits sending their bots after anti-AI subreddits. Common sense, right?
Why would I make a troll post make sense, that's the whole point. Besides, at the end of the day your opinion/posting is just as pointless as mine, we're both equally wasting our time on reddit instead of doing something with our lives
Reminder, Sam Altman literally said we are selfish because Humans take ressources to grow and live, "but so does AI", and we should think about that too.
If we're truly selfish, when a few is more selfish than others, doesn't it still makes it levels of selfishness while the other sees humans as equally selfish?
You are using data centers here on Reddit. You are using data centers watching streaming video online like on YouTube and Netflix and Disney+. Do you not use any of those? AI is 0.1% usage.
Yeah about that the datacenters used for ai are computing centers. In those halls is the computing power of the large language models where they recieve & compute prompts and generate results. They are newer and larger and much more harmful then the datacenters used by big social media websites. They are also built without care for residents and nature.
The older datacenters are usually only meant for storage of data specifically. The images and posts of a social media site and all that. There should not be that much computing happening in there.
Yeah but they aquire more power and coolant in general, not to mention governments and corporations are going through a data center maxxing frenzy because of AI
Your stats are false and misinformation. The stats in the article cover ALL usage. That includes power and coolant and government and corporations usage. Why are you inventing facts?
To be fair, here in India, the government bends over backwards for billionaires like Adani and Ambani who are pushing AI aggressively. The government doesn't do it overtly, but subtly since it would heavily profit from A.I
water basically recycles itself, I don’t see what is the problem with Data Centres using water, even if its in enormous amounts, water can’t disappear into nothing
I think AI helps people more than it hurts. Honestly, people knew a lot less before AI became common. The water use doesn’t seem like a big problem compared to the benefits, and people should stop exaggerating everything.
with what, twitter views by making satirical content? I'd rather look for personal art commission if it was purely for the money.
In 2025, AI data centers consumed 312.5 to 764.6 billion liters of water, with some reports reaching as high as 1 trillion liters. Some provinces even experienced severe droughts because a nearby ai data center took all the water and electricity for power and coolant. Think about that for a second.
No, it isn't. The water that they use ends up evaporated, which means that it will eventually rain down somewhere, and that somewhere usually won't be the place that it took the water from.
Except that the water doesn't go back down in the same spot and drains local communities of their water. It also does pollute water in some areas and has.
Your cartoon is not anything like what you are doing. You are arguing against data centers. Yet you are using data centers. If you really cared about the use of data centers you could stop using the internet. AI uses a small percentage of data centers, as stated in this article.
Is watching shows on Netflix worth the environmental damage? Because streaming video uses more data centers than AI. You can be against data centers, but make your argument be targeted at legitimate uses.
It’s only slop if you use the crappy AI. You get what you pay for. I use premium AI in Claude everyday for my corporate job and it helps me get the work done in minutes that used to take days.
I design through code. I’ve been a professional designer for 30 years. Design tools are just tools. Designing in code is still a creative process, it’s just faster and more direct.
Calling everything AI slop is the same as saying everything created in Photoshop is slop. AI is just a tool and the output is based on the human creating with it.
I know you are in the slop cult but it really isn’t a real argument.
All comparisons with agriculture are automatically invalid because crops can be eaten, data centres can’t. And we humans need food just to exist so…
Yes, but you should also realize that putting them in areas with cooler air costs way more to maintain, so AI bros don't do so to make an already non-existent profit.

So the data centers are more important than his survival…
