    a big fish requires smaller fish to live. something that himans eat a lot of

    ai does use a lot of water, but i dont think its a driving factor that majorly affects fish. there may be places where industrial water use is “drying up” rivers, lakes, etc, but ai data centers are not likely a proportionally large part of this. most water use goes towards agriculture, and a lot of that agriculture is used for animal feed (for the animals that people eat) and creating ethanol to power cars. ai is bad, but not in a way tgat greatly affecta fish
