    I’ll skip discussions about my persona. But most certainly golf courses or video games have orders of magnitude lower impact on electricity and watee than worldwide LLMs (mostly in datacenters).

      You would be mistaken.

      Data Centers use about 0.06% of the USAs total Water per year.

      Watering golf courses in total uses about 0.5 percent.

      My personal hardware that hosts my AI uses zero water. It uses more electricity when running a game.

      There are more video gamers than there are users of AI.

      Your persona is indeed just jumping on the popular bandwagon.
