I love the idea of a Captain Planet villain having some underling crunch the numbers to choose the optimal place to build dozens of AI data centers such that there's just enough water available for them to use, but then by using said water, it conveniently destroys any and all local ecologies and human communities in the process, cackling all the while—it's so completely divorced from reality that it makes perfect sense that average people living in the mediabrained modern hellscape of today would believe that to be the case.
