Not posting this as a definitive claim but because I’m curious to learn from the discourse.

@mikester Not enough numbers to evaluate (700 paper mills vs. how many datacenters? how much is "a fraction of" 10mil gallons? did paper mills use potable water?)

Combined with the AI-generated image (so even if real numbers were calculated, the image isn't likely to represent them correctly), and using 3d objects to represent magnitudes (inherently misleading since humans can't estimate volume by eye very well), i'm deciding to ignore this until someone runs the numbers
