Missing context: Humans have the best health outcomes on a plant based diet and it takes nearly 10 times more water to get an equivalent amount of calories out of animal sources compared to plants.
You should care about environmental costs in general, not just when it’s a convenient data point for hating on AI. I mean, you should hate on generative AI, it’s garbage, but don’t stop there. Animal agriculture is an environmental disaster of outlandish proportions and it’s easy (with a tiny bit of education) to eat plants instead of animals and stop being a part of the problem.
It would be hypocritical to advocate against AI but also give them your money 3 times a day, wouldn’t it?
Not who are replying to, but I’ve got some good news, moving to plant-based diets is also better for wild animals too
Livestock farmers often claim that their grazing systems “mimic nature”. If so, the mimicry is a crude caricature. A review of evidence from over 100 studies found that when livestock are removed from the land, the abundance and diversity of almost all groups of wild animals increases
And not only that but fewer crops are needed for animal feed so less disruption overall from that end too
If everyone shifted to a plant-based diet we would reduce global land use for agriculture by 75%. This large reduction of agricultural land use would be possible thanks to a reduction in land used for grazing and a smaller need for land to grow crops.

All my homies love trophic layers
So we should only preserve plants and let any animal not related to food production fight for it’s existence. Gg no re
How is this different from what we’re doing right now?
