A) Water use and resource management is resource business. Water needs to be allocated in both a fair and humane way.
B) This headline and article is some classic modern-day repackaging "journalism".
It leans incredibly heavily on the original AP piece (at least it links liberally to them), adds a few semi constructive comments from 'actual critics' (thus just barely nudging them into the zone where they can use their headline with a straight face), adds some links to barely related things (the link for 'isn't fit for human consumption'? that link is mostly about nitrates and other agricultural run-offs), and the classic anonymous social media (Reddit) quotes.
And most egregiously, awhile cheerfully lifting right out the AP piece, they neglected to at least lift from probably the single most human scale and impactful snippet from the original AP piece - "In a paper due to be published later this year, Ren’s team estimates ChatGPT gulps up 500 milliliters of water (close to what’s in a 16-ounce water bottle) every time you ask it a series of between 5 to 50 prompts or questions. The range varies depending on where its servers are located and the season."

- aspyct 3y agoHalf a liter of water? Wow. We can probably derive the power usage from that, considering that the heat is generated by consuming electricity. I assume they do evaporative cooling, Anyone with enough physics knowledge to calculate this? At least in my kitchen, evaporating 500ml of water takes significant time and energy.

- tim333 3y agoFirst result on Google give the energy use as about 0.002 KWh per query. And evaporating 500ml is about 0.3kwh. So that's about 150 queries.
