AI does consume huge amounts of water comparable to entire cities. A single AI facility consumes more water than most cities.

That AI consumes somewhat less water than cities of millions is not a defense.

No that's incorrect. Now you're just lying and making things up.

No, that's incorrect. Others have provided citations demonstrating that the big tech AI facilities use more water than cities with populations of 100,000 people.

A city is not defined by its size. It is defined by its legal incorporation as a city. There are big cities, and there are small cities, and most cities are on the smaller side.

Try again.
