Putting water use in context
Jones compares an AI query with the water associated with a hamburger. The interviewer responds with her own dietary choices.
In a short interview excerpt, Nate Jones discusses AI’s resource use. He claims that a hamburger uses more than 600 times the water associated with a ChatGPT query. The interviewer responds by mentioning that she is vegetarian and drives a hybrid vehicle.

The excerpt does not state sources, system boundaries, time periods or methods for these comparisons, so the figures should be understood as his claims rather than verified equivalences.
