Only if one ignores the ethical, environmental, and copyright concerns.
Those are imaginary shit made up to stop progress. AI will be used. If not then the project will be formed and the fork will get leaves better than the human slop version. Meanwhile you'll keep coping that le AI bad with le enbyornmint. AI uses less water than growing almonds. Stop being a brainwashed cattle
Citation needed.
The issue with the almonds is that there are a bunch of dumbasses growing them in an area that, left to itself, would be a desert. They shouldn't be doing that, either.
Irrelevant whataboutism. Nothing about the almonds justifies or is at all related the datacenter build-outs.
My point was that even if the water use of data centers is less than that of almonds, it does not justify the existence of the data centers because the water use of the almonds is also grossly inflated. You don't waste 999 million dollars just because someone else is wasting a billion.
