"He was, of course, referring to the reports that say AI data centers use millions of gallons of water a day. Everyone in the room nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, I kept quiet and tried to hide the shame written all over my face. Little did everyone know that I have the ChatGPT app downloaded on my phone and use it daily."
"Beyond the environmental concerns, I often wonder what AI will do to my job as a journalist. Will it soon render me useless? What other industries will AI destroy?
