自2010年代初以来，位于智利迈波河盆地的Quilicura已成为人工智能数据中心的重要枢纽。这些中心在冷却过程中使用大量水，加重了与气候变化相关的该地区严重干旱。为提高人们对人工智能隐藏水成本的认识，居民们用一天时间扮演“人类人工智能”，手动回答提示词并与当地艺术家共同创作内容。该倡议由Fundación Avina和Corporación Ngen发起，旨在揭示日常使用人工智能的环境影响。

一个关于 Quili AI 的 Hacker News 帖子讨论了人类而非 AI 回答问题的服务。评论者比较人类回答者与 AI 模型在水和能源使用方面的差异，争论 AI 水资源使用担忧是否被夸大，提到智利的水资源危机和数据中心问题，并讨论人类是否可能作为“真实”的答案来源而获得重视。一些用户还质疑网站上的说法，并要求查看示例回答。

A TOWN BECOMES AI FOR A DAY IN A BID TO SAVE ITS WATER.

AN INITATIVE BY FUNDACIÓN AVINA AND CORPORACIÓN NGEN

In the early 2010s, Quilicura began to host one of the largest concentrations of data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence. These use the region's water as a cooling method.

[The Problem]

QUILICURA, CHILE SITS WITHIN THE MAIPO RIVER BASIN, ONE OF THE MAIN SOURCES OF WATER FOR PEOPLE AND FARMING. SINCE THE EARLY 2010s, QUILICURA HAS BECOME A MAJOR HUB FOR A.I. DATA CENTERS THAT USE LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER TO COOL DOWN SERVERS. BECAUSE OF THAT, COUPLED WITH AN ONGOING CLIMATE CRISIS, CHILE IS FACING A SEVERE DROUGHT EXPECTED TO LAST UNTIL 2040.

[Becoming AI for a Day]

Even though A.I. can move mankind ahead, the irresponsible use of A.I. can have disastrous effects on our water and other resources. It is inconceivable to think that someone casually using A.I. to create funny images in NYC or Berlin, can affect the water supply in Quilicura, Chile. To make the impact visible, and to help draw visibility to the problem, the residents from Quilicura became “human A.I.,” for a day. Answering prompts, creating content with local artists, and completing other tasks manually.
