Estimates for how much an AI image costs in water varies widely, estimates from 0.4 liters to 50 liters with the median I’m seeing at about a 1-5 liters. Even taking the 50 liter estimate which we can assume includes training and electricity generation to get a number that high that is far below a serving of rice which costs 276 liters.
