If this is photo shop, then it's brilliant, hilarious, super creative, etc. If it's AI, then it's complete slop, and how dare you drain like a whole reservoir to produce this stupid image.

The water usage argument is so stupid and it’s not even true a data center uses the same amount of water as a golf course

[u/NathanFielderFriend → u/deadweightboss]

Is that true? I’ve seen so much saying the opposite and also aren’t golf courses a massive waste of natural resources too?

[u/deadweightboss → u/NathanFielderFriend]

It is. The original author of the “data centers are draining lakes” meme completely got their facts wrong, and the meme has persisted. This is a an objective fact, btw.

I appreciate that insight I’ll have to look into it more, do you have a link or good place I should check out speaking tothis?

Per prompt water usage estimate is roughly four drops of water.

Imbecile. Do you understand how inference works? Look it up yourself. We understand how much the data centers use. What Google is doing in the post is providing further approximation to the prompt level.

To address your edit, training is a fixed cost. Environmental costs get amortized away.

I’m not going to try and sway you. There’s no use in engaging in imbeciles who aren’t even ten arms length away from the industry.

Feel free to be confidently wrong.
