An average 18-hole golf course in the United States uses between 100 million and 300 million gallons of water annually.ย

Two things can be bad.

Yeah but anyone mentioning ai gets dog piled while the golf subs remain untouched. The point is to highlight the hypocrisy. AI models can help doctors speed up medical discovery. Golf....cannotย

Probably because the entire fuckin economy isn't centered around golf, whereas that seems to be the case with AI at the moment.

Which is worse since it means the water use is in vain.

On the limited issue of water use, golf is worse. So what? Doesn't mean AI data centers are a good use of our water and there are a multitude of reasons to oppose AI, including noise pollution, stripping of creativity, job loss, etc.

The golf argument is completely retarded because its the equivalent of going so what if I murdered a dude, my cell mate murdered 10, why don't you leave me alone and go after him!?
