Original Reddit post

Google says a typical AI query uses five drops of water. OpenAI’s Sam Altman describes a similar amount — about one-fifteenth of a teaspoon . But another viral estimate says a short email written with AI’s help uses a half-liter bottle of water. The difference is enormous: across those three widely shared claims, the largest amount is about 2,000 times the smallest. None of them is fully right. submitted by /u/CBSnews
