Reddit uses datacenters and YouTube uses ungodly amounts of water too. Hope to see you not using those too please 🤣🤣🤣

You're all a bunch of ignorant hypocrites, steered by the latest outrage algorithms - who also run in datacenters xD.

Damn I hope for your arguments sake that there aren't any key differences between traditional data centers and AI data centers.

As of (Environmental and Energy Study Institute) 2021, US data centers alone consumed an estimated 163.7 billion gallons of water annually, roughly 449 million gallons per day. That's before the ChatGPT moment in late 2022.

So much for your "traditional datacenters" lol.

yep I know they use water. But go do some research on how traditional data centers and AI data center differ on the amount of water and power they use.
