Comment on "Farms use more water than Al data centers" OK, I'll go without Al and you can go without food and we'll see who lasts longer

Pick a better reason to want AI. water is a significant issue, especially when it’s commercialized and not everyone has access to clean water.

You can go fuck yourself for defending AI.

The blasting for building these places is literally shaking people’s homes apart. The noise pollution after construction is vibrating people to death. Go setup camp next to a data center and come see us in 100 days.

There ya go!!! those are great reasons. I’m not defending it just the water issue doesn’t add up when cattle takes up way more and we have alternstive meat options in 2026.

  Food is required to live, AI is not. At all. You’re comparing Lord of the Rings to Battlefield Earth.

    Yes you’re stating a fact, is cattle the only food?

    Other comments/arguments are more general to “farms”, not specific to cattle.

    They didn’t say food, they said cattle. Meat is as unecessary (except pzarticular health condition) as ai, and pollute more. Opposing ai for environnemental issues but not opposing meat at the same time is kinda contradictory

    Actually AI is probably more necessary to life than meat at this point. As it underpins a large portion of global logistics
