AI uses less water than the public thinks

Beer has been around for like a thousand years and we haven't decided to get rid of it. We're five years into this fever dream and everyone either literally hates AI or has been driven at least a little crazy by it. It's a pretty darn easy choice for me (and most people I imagine).

Careful, your bias is showing.

Beer is a physically addictive mind altering substance, so of course we haven't decided to get rid of it (because it literally drugs you), but people go sober all the time because they know how bad it is.

The entire United States banned beer in the 1920s, and then un-banned it in the 30s, using a process that is unthinkable today.

Great news, you are free to stop using AI and to drink beer, and so are we all.
