Most of the water use for corn isn't necessary either, because nearly half the corn we grow gets burned in engines in the form of corn ethanol mixed into gasoline.
I'll say that again because it is an unfathomable stat. Nearly half the corn the US grows gets burned to make cars go. That represents 40x the water use of AI if OP is to be believed about the 1/80th stat.
