I 🖤 AYUN :
Yes — AI can indirectly use water, but the viral claim that “every question makes AI drink a bottle/glass of water” is misleading. AI runs in data centers, which use electricity and sometimes water for cooling. Google estimated that a median Gemini text prompt used about 0.26 mL of water — roughly 5 drops — in its May 2025 measurement. � Google Cloud +1 The amount is not the same for every AI or every question. It depends on the model, data center, cooling system, electricity source, and length/type of request. Some researchers argue that estimates like Google's don't include all indirect water use, so the true footprint can be higher. � theverge.com So, yes, AI has a water footprint, but no, one normal question does not literally consume a glass of water. 💧🤖 For example, 1,000 prompts × 0.26 mL ≈ 260 mL, using Google's estimate.
