    It doesn’t…

    You’re just telling everyone that in addition to the social media account, you also don’t know what you’re talking about.

    But that was a safe assumption already.

    Large-scale AI deployments pose several environmental concerns. Most AI servers are stored in data centres, which produce electronic waste and can contain toxic chemicals, such as mercury and lead. Data centres consume vast amounts of electricity, creating greenhouse gas emissions. They also require large amounts of water for construction and to cool the electrical components. Global AI demand is expected to consume 4.2-6.6 billion cubic meters of water by 2027, surpassing Denmark’s total annual water withdrawal of 4-6 billion cubic meters

    We don’t have enough water and clean energy for humans, we can’t afford to waste even more because some people are too lazy and ignorant

      The point of OPs post is that people who are so vocally against AI will read the word AI in a post and go off on rants without reading the rest of the post, much like a conservative seeing the word “pronouns.”

      You read the word AI and went off on a rant, ignoring the rest of the post. The subject of this post was never the pros and cons of AI use. You steered it that way, because OP is right.

        No. I explained why people would say AI is terrible when the topic of AI came up…

        I’m sorry you can’t understand this, but me trying to explain anything to you seems kind of pointless by now.

          This is a post about people, not AI. What you are doing is the definition of ranting, going off on a tangent when nobody asked for it.

        The rest of the post is a simile and doesn’t matter. It’s like ignoring this sentence you’re reading right now since it doesn’t actually matter and could be removed without changing my point.
