It is well known that meat based food, especially beef, is a bad use of water ressources vs the nutritional value, probably worse than those ai datacentres for water.
I keep seeing this argument about "meat vs ai" and I think it's just a way to divert the blame and the anti-ai/anti-meat people's attention. We should be doing both, reducing meat/beef consumption and heavily regulating AI datacenters in regards to water and electricity use (regulated in all aspects but that's beyond the scope of this post).
There is zero nutritional value in AI slop
Yes, but does you eating food generate as much value for the share holders as AI? /s
I agree, but despite all the shit AI waifu generators and the "let's shove it in everything just like we did with blockchain and metaverse" there are legitimate uses (medical, scientific) for AI I think where it has the potential to add value and improve life. AI in the current regulatory, financial, fiscal and moral landscape is a bunch of trouble waiting to happen.
That is why I think it's just rage baiting comparison to say "Your food uses more water than AI". It plays to the "we're replacing you with AI" sentiment.
The more nuanced message is that yes AI datacenters use a lot of water but still a lot less than meat production. I have read a while ago about how with AI they are looking to better target irrigation of crops to reduce the amount of water needed while giving the optimal amount of water for each plants. We'll see if it ends up being a net positive for water consumption vs the water used by the AI to do this...
