OpenAI CEO says ChatGPT queries use less water than producing one almond, dismissing data center water use concerns.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed concerns about the water usage of ChatGPT, stating that 38,000 ChatGPT queries consume about the same amount of water as producing a single almond. He explained that modern data centers no longer use evaporative cooling, which previously increased water consumption, and their water use is comparable to that of an office building. Despite public backlash over data centers' environmental impact, Altman called these claims a "robust meme" that doesn't hold up under scrutiny. This statement comes amid growing debates over the environmental footprint of AI technology and data centers in the US, especially in drought-prone areas like California and Georgia.
