    That is how water use works, yes. The water goes back into the environment and is later reused.

    Also, there’s a good chance the AIs are not being trained in the same facilities that they’re later being run in. Different sorts of work is being done.

      Not necessarily. Some ground water is ancient “fossil water” and won’t replenish. At least not before a very long time.

      Back into the environment, yes.

      You don’t start limiting residential showers unless running the well dry is a possibility.
