I stumbled on this page which explains what the various vendors use water for, how some of it is lost, how reclaimed, how water use is measured. I can't vouch for the site, I don't know it, but it seems to have very detailed information about data centre water use.

I should go looking for other industrial users of water to see how they compare to current state of AI data centre water use.

"Hundreds of users tagged X's integrated AI bot Grok to ask: Is this real?
It's not â the video was created with generative AI. But Grok's responses varied wildly, sometimes minute to minute. "The video likely shows real damage," said one response; "likely not authentic," said another."

"The second thing that happens when people get very excited (as with AI) is that investors have trouble determining good ideas from bad."
So, he thinks we are in an AI bubble, although he also said he thinks AI will be revolutionary. Maybe it's both. Maybe he doesn't know. Maybe he should go back to selling books.
By the way, are we still waiting for Bitcoin to be adopted for mainstream use yet or is our attention on AI now?

"Copilot+ PC experiences are unique features available on Copilot+ PCs, which are a class of Windows 11 devices that meet specific system requirements. Copilot+ PCs are the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built. Some Copilot+ PC experiences and availability vary by device, region, and over time, and have additional requirements."

Stupid people are going to stupidly rely on AI and kill us all.
And racists and white supremacists will rely on AI intentionally because it is racist and supremacist (for reasons I've expressed elsewhere but basically because they reflect Society back to us) so oligarchs will love it.
Everyone's going to use it as an excuse to cut jobs.
I REALLY love the future.

Edit: And don't even get me started about how humans have a bias to believe computers always pump out correct results.

Just wait until we start feeding AI slop into AI training to make more AI slop hoo boy if you don't want to make gasoline spaghetti now you sure as hell will then!
