I think they just posted two unrelated pictures. The first one is for one burger, the second one shows water usage of industries and companies and those numbers are not for individual users. The numbers are also consistent with numbers I’ve seen elsewhere.

Data centers do consume a lot of energy and water, but nowhere near the cattle/dairy industry. One point to keep in mind though is that this is a direct comparison of primary water use of these industries. If they’re building nuclear power plants specifically for data centers, maybe their water use should be included too - a nuclear power plant uses more water than a data center by orders of magnitude too so that component becomes dominant.

(Cattle/dairy also uses insane amounts of energy, but not as much electricity specifically - mostly fossil fuels -, and much less locally concentrated. It would still be much worse than AI but the numbers for AI water use specifically would be more upsetting.)
