    @phantemxtx ohh okay I see!! If you do know, what's the process of the recycling?? Is it like going back to places that it was taken from or is just naturally going to places where it would be due to the water cycle (if that makes sense). And it's good it's 90% of it IS recycled somehow, but what happens to that ten percent?? Because in the end it's still ten percent we are losing, and that 10 percent will add up to a lot of water lost in the end

    It's being recycled back into the cooling and this water is usually purified from salt water not fresh water

      @seesaw and the water lost basically evaporates or something back into the ocean

                        Okay okay look, I think AI is sort of like...Okay? like sure it causes lots of harm but me and like half of the people have used it and will probably keep using it, And while it is bad i don't think we could get rid of it...so yeah

                        Why is everyone on BDNS so cringe(Except for me and the people I like)

                          As someone who knows alot about ai and just tech in general for the water issue you stated thats not a problem 90% of the water used to cool is recycled and the power issue in reality with make things like electric cars more available as energy producers invest in better grid infrastructure and delivery

                          @PhantemXtX I'm sorry for dead posting but I wanted to correct you because I saw a video the other day of a woman who lives near a generative ai system server area (idk what those buildings r called) AND HER TAP WATER IS BROWN. she can't shower in her own water nor can she drink it.

                            First of all I am not trying to start arguments, I'm only trying to inform so this will probably be a really long rant and I apologize if there is any incorrect info but I feel like people are just brushing it off... But it really IS that deep..
                            (This includes stuff such as chat got, chai, character ai, gemini and more)
                            In case you don't wanna read all that my points are:
                            Uses our fresh water to cool it's data centers
                            Releases carbon emissions (this causes global warming)
                            Is mostly trained by stolen works
                            Even if you use as a therapist, the AI is naturally meant to agree with the user and find ways as to why they are "right" (obviously, doesn't have any actual morals)
                            Can be used to generate just about anything including nsfw content with unconsenting people. (This has been done, and people are doing this with actual children)

                            First off, WHY is generative AI bad?? To start off, it is causing a lot of issues ENVIRONMENTALLY. While one response from ai doesn't equal a gallon of water lost, it still uses it. Because data centers are used to train generative ai such as Chat GPT and other popular artificial intelligence. And data centers heat up, which requires water to cool down. But it's not just using any water, it's using OUR freshwater. That 3 percent that is on our earth is being used to cool down data centers!

                            Second reason is that the amount of electricity AI uses. Ai takes about 2.9 watt-hours of electricity just to generate a response, while doing a single Google search is JUST 0.3 watt-hours. Because of the amount of energy generative AI uses (this doesn't just apply to AI but it requires a lot of electricity) it is releasing tons of carbon emissions. In case you dont know why this is bad, this is one of the many factors of GLOBAL WARMING. Yes, there are many other things that cause it but by stopping the use of generative AI we have one less factor to worry about.

                            Now onto morally WHY generative AI is bad, which I hope is obvious... Is that it is mostly trained by STOLEN works. This is mostly seen with art done by people, but this can include forms of writing. Ai is replacing people's jobs because it is more "efficient" and is typically free. But people who have spent their lives dedicating to something they enjoy, are not able to due to the fact it's so easy for them to be replaced by ai.

                            And I understand how some people is works as an alternative for a therapist if you for any reason can't have one... But AI is not programmed to actually give you advice, it is program to just naturally AGREE with the user. No matter what problem it will try to find reasons to as why your "right". This is most likely so that way it can make the user more engaged, because why would you wanna spend time with something that always disagrees with you?

                            This is not only it, but with AI you can generate just a about ANYTHING. And I don't wanna get too nsfw, but this is becoming a huge Internet safety problem because people can make just about anything your face for THEIR pleasure. And this HAS happened to many unconsenting people. Including CHILDREN.

                            There are many more problems as too why generative AI is bad, but this is about all I will cover for now! Against sorry for this being so long but I think it's really important people know about this. Sorry if I got anything incorrect!

                                        First of all I am not trying to start arguments, I'm only trying to inform so this will probably be a really long rant and I apologize if there is any incorrect info but I feel like people are just brushing it off... But it really IS that deep..
                                        (This includes stuff such as chat got, chai, character ai, gemini and more)
                                        In case you don't wanna read all that my points are:
                                        Uses our fresh water to cool it's data centers
                                        Releases carbon emissions (this causes global warming)
                                        Is mostly trained by stolen works
                                        Even if you use as a therapist, the AI is naturally meant to agree with the user and find ways as to why they are "right" (obviously, doesn't have any actual morals)
                                        Can be used to generate just about anything including nsfw content with unconsenting people. (This has been done, and people are doing this with actual children)

                                        First off, WHY is generative AI bad?? To start off, it is causing a lot of issues ENVIRONMENTALLY. While one response from ai doesn't equal a gallon of water lost, it still uses it. Because data centers are used to train generative ai such as Chat GPT and other popular artificial intelligence. And data centers heat up, which requires water to cool down. But it's not just using any water, it's using OUR freshwater. That 3 percent that is on our earth is being used to cool down data centers!

                                        Second reason is that the amount of electricity AI uses. Ai takes about 2.9 watt-hours of electricity just to generate a response, while doing a single Google search is JUST 0.3 watt-hours. Because of the amount of energy generative AI uses (this doesn't just apply to AI but it requires a lot of electricity) it is releasing tons of carbon emissions. In case you dont know why this is bad, this is one of the many factors of GLOBAL WARMING. Yes, there are many other things that cause it but by stopping the use of generative AI we have one less factor to worry about.

                                        Now onto morally WHY generative AI is bad, which I hope is obvious... Is that it is mostly trained by STOLEN works. This is mostly seen with art done by people, but this can include forms of writing. Ai is replacing people's jobs because it is more "efficient" and is typically free. But people who have spent their lives dedicating to something they enjoy, are not able to due to the fact it's so easy for them to be replaced by ai.

                                        And I understand how some people is works as an alternative for a therapist if you for any reason can't have one... But AI is not programmed to actually give you advice, it is program to just naturally AGREE with the user. No matter what problem it will try to find reasons to as why your "right". This is most likely so that way it can make the user more engaged, because why would you wanna spend time with something that always disagrees with you?

                                        This is not only it, but with AI you can generate just a about ANYTHING. And I don't wanna get too nsfw, but this is becoming a huge Internet safety problem because people can make just about anything your face for THEIR pleasure. And this HAS happened to many unconsenting people. Including CHILDREN.

                                        There are many more problems as too why generative AI is bad, but this is about all I will cover for now! Against sorry for this being so long but I think it's really important people know about this. Sorry if I got anything incorrect!

                                        @seesaw Alright look your post is very valid couldn't read the whole thing but some of your points...Pretty good I mean me personally I can't just say I hate AI but still use it(Like Gemini)I use it to like answer some questions or thoughts I have in my head so personally I think AI is sorta Neutral I mean some people don't like it but still use it I mean as for the AI Data Centers yeah no doubt about it their trash but yeah I'm not exactly sure how to feel about AI currently

                                        Edit: Yo will y'all stop trying to fry me bro like damn I said I was neutral okay? I'm aware y'all hate Clankers with every fiber of their being geez...

                                        Why is everyone on BDNS so cringe(Except for me and the people I like)

                                          Going to have to agree with the post. Generative AI is horrible. Period. I'm definitely one of those super anti-AI people. I genuinely don't get why- with ALL of the reasoning as to why it harms our environment- people still use it. Generative AI uses up our water, destroys our environment, and with way more AI data centers sprouting up, towns are getting exploited out of their electricity and clean water (not to mention noise pollution?). This hurts people, this hurts animals, and this hurts the earth. My mother is one of those people, and she doesn't care whenever she uses AI. She uses it to ask questions, to get recipes for about anything, and all of the other colors under the sun. At this point, Google doesn't exist anymore to her. It's a type of ignorance that is overly abundant in my country that shows up in subjects outside of generative AI. Oh, do you need to generate art because you can't draw? Pick up a pencil like the rest of us. Do you need to find a quick recipe for pie or home-made dinners? Look up recipes on GOOGLE. Having trouble finding good templates for your profile, resume, websites? Go look up free templates or work with someone who has knowledge/experience. And even then, we have tools like Photoshop, Google, Pinterest, etc. etc. There will always be a second option that you can choose, and it's one that most would heavily recommend. I would recommend it. People have started to rely too much on AI when we've had perfectly good alternatives, and as a result it's destroying our planet at an even faster rate.
