    In all fairness, while humans need food to survive, we don’t need beef and there are objectively better options for sustainability than animal agriculture.

    Not saying AI isn’t abhorrent, but the argument that beef makes food so its water consumption is not appalling isn’t strong.

      Of course. It’s still of greater and more essential use to us than waifu chatbots.

      the argument that beef makes food so its water consumption is not appalling isn’t strong.

      I didn’t say it’s not appaling. I did say at least it makes something useful, and that comparing the two does not absolve AI.
