#Report by the United Nations University quantifies, for the first time, the carbon, #water and land footprint of #AI. The figures are staggering : 945 TWh of electricity projected for 2030, 9.3 trillion litres of water, 14,500 km² of land.
Spoiler : It will take the water and electricity consumption of 1.3 billion people to meet your prompts by 2030

So I spotted an @ONLYOFFICE logo in a toot about non-US tech alternatives and figured I'd have a look because I'd never actually bothered with it. Opened the web site, looked, saw "now powered by AI-powe..." and hit the tab close button hard.
Algorithm-based social networks and LLM-based "AI" are #WeaponsOfMassDelusion and have been successfully destroying democracies.
