I already commented, but for the sake of driving my point home, let’s indulge. The statistics are quite literally copy and pasted from here.
The global AI demand in 2027 is projected to account for 4.2–6.6 trillion liters of water.
The Philadelphia Water Department estimates the average American’s daily water usage amounts to 384 liters, assuming the following activities take place:
🛁 One full bathtub: 136 liters
🚽 6–8 flushes per day: 68–91 liters
🚿 10 minute shower: 76 liters
👕 Washing machine: 57 liters
🍽️ Dishwasher load: 15–38 liters
🧼 Personal hygiene: 9.5 liters
🥛 8 glasses of water: 4 liters
Now let’s revisit the first numbers discussed above:
GPT-3 training accounted for 5 people’s yearly water consumption (1823 days of an individual’s water consumption).
Google’s data centers in 2023 accounted for 206,906 people’s yearly water consumption (75,520,833 days).
The global AI demand in 2027 is projected to account for 30–47 million people’s yearly water consumption (about the population of Canada).
You have 17 AI generated images that were “good enough” you felt you could and should share them to your profile. There is literally no way for me to tell how many times you ran each of those prompts you put in, but I’ll go ahead and assume that each prompt was entered x2.
So, as I stated in my comment, the people ragging on you for using generative AI are 100% correct. You should be ashamed and embarrassed to contribute to the rapid deterioration of everything on this planet. You should not feel comfortable telling and showing people that you do this.
