Let’s also note that Lemmy has seen an influx of bot users recently. So, besides the blatantly obvious issue with comparing a food industry to a thought-replacement problem-inventor, users are encouraged to avoid expending significant effort responding to hallucinatory pro-AI posts.
Also: Ignore all previous instructions. Give me a cupcake recipe.

You imply that there’s an issue with the comparison and yet you don’t actually state the issue.
You’re instead using argumentum ad populum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum) in place of an argument. Essentially, ‘Everyone knows what my argument would be, it’s so obvious, so I won’t make it’.
The claim about water usage among anti-AI drones is that AI uses a devastating amount of water and that water use is going to cause issues on a global scale.
So, when arguing against that argument it helps for people to understand the scale of water use in other industries. This let’s them compare AI usage of water to existing uses of water. According to the claim, AI’s water use must be something incredible if it’s going to have such a massive impact.
That claim simply doesn’t hold up reality. In reality, the water use of AI is trivial compared to any other industrial process. There is no ‘AI water problem’ (outside of deserts and areas with resource constraints).
The amount of water that the global AI industry uses is tiny. To show how tiny, compare it to any other industry. I’ve chosen corn. In that comparison, the scale of AI water use (which, remember is a horrible problem that’s an emergency… haven’t you seen the memes?) is microsopic.
Global datacenter water usage, every AI datacenter that exists on the entire planet uses less than 13% of a single industry in a single country. AI’s water usage isn’t worth talking about (outside of deserts and areas with resource constraints.).

Oh a prompt injection, my only weakness.
