    Correct me if I’m wrong, but AI doesn’t consume drinkable water. It’s used for cooling. What UK water consumption are we talking about here ? Is it the total water consumption including farming and industrial, or just fresh water ? What is the source for this information?

    I also believe that the AI craz is wasteful usage of precision ressources. But I find this data rather lacking in details.
