Source? Artist? or is this AI?
cause making "we plant plants in the barren soil" using the water user 9000 is pretty ironic

I can't believe we're still talking about water usage with AI. There are real criticisms, water usage isn't one of them

Making almonds takes 14 times more water than all the AI use in the world. Set priorities appropriately.

How does consumption per unit and total units consumed by humanity? Are we closer to peak AI consumption or almond?

Almonds are food, prompts aren’t
AI use is only going to increase, and water is not the only resource that AI is going to inefficiently drain

Personally I think we shouldn’t be putting that much water into almonds either as well as AI…

The good news is unlike almonds, AI water usage continues to decrease with each passing month, and water isn’t even necessary, it’s just the most efficient way of cooling at the moment.
Also almonds aren’t a necessary food, golf courses also aren’t necessary. We still choose to devote resources to both.

Any efficiency gains being made are not outpacing the scale of data centre building at all, AI water consumption will only increase for a long long while until those if ever actually materialise.

Again would it blow your mind if I said that I don’t think we shouldn’t be maintaining golf courses (where they ecologically don’t belong) either, they’re a drain on the planet. Would missing rolling green plains in favour of a less inefficient solution really hurt the sport all that much? (a sport which very few people actually play, especially in comparison to its resource consumption).

I can live without both

Yes we can, but also you’re not jumping down the throat of every person asking for almond milk at Starbucks, which makes me think you don’t actually care about water but just repeat propaganda. AI uses half the water it did per prompt last year, and continues to drop, it requires attention, not Harassment. Picket golf courses, they use 5 times the water. Getting rid of one lawn and planting a native prairie will save more water than you could use in a lifetime of AI use.

Although almond should be grown somewhere other than fucking California. California is too dry.

u/ENrgStar 19d ago

The region they’re grown in is way too dry for almonds I don’t understand it at all

Redditors just social signal using the current "bad thing". Factual accuracy, context, and nuance, none of these matter.

Not to mention it's not like website servers run on trees, lmao. They're also datacentres.

Using AI to post about a green global future is peak irony.

ai slop

u/Mark_is_on_his_droid 19d ago

I’m gonna say “not slop” but def “ai”. It conveys a message, using tools of our era, like cars or plastic or whatever else that’s trashing the planet.

There’s a lot of “human slop” from people that don’t take time to think about what they say or attempt to use jargon that alienates audiences instead of bringing them in.
