Alt Text: The cartoon illustrates the problem of water use in the AI age: a farmer's child and his mother are pumping a little water from a well for their daily use. Two knights in armor, transporting a large, spherical water container on wheels, come by and say, "The King wishes to make more avatars of himself as a Ghibli character."
In the background, a castle sits enthroned on a hill. The cartoon illustrates the excessive water consumption required for AI model queries.

Yeah, you responded with something that doesn't support your original claim at all.

What you are trying to do is called moving the goalpost.

If you acknowledge that your original claim is bullshit and want to move the goalpost, it's fine, but you have to say that you're doing so.

Like this:

Yeah, I originally said that they're doing that nowadays, but after some research, I have found that my claim has no basis in truth. However, I found this post from oracle that I want to discuss about.

Then sure, I can choose to engage with this new goalpost or not. But I refuse to argue with a moved goalpost if you don't even admit that you moved it.

You know what, you're right. I did move the goalposts and then doubled down out of ego. I let my pride get the better of me.

I will admit that I originally made a claim with no credible evidence. This was wrong of me and I will not continue to dig myself into a hole.

Thank you for calling that out.

That is actually a rare occurrence.

Thank you for being honest and logical
