lol, pointless much.
first off, what the others said. if it's taking water out of the air, then the air will be too dry to even breathe comfortably.
two, pollution. what's to say the resulting water isn't contaminated?

I'd imagine that purification would be a built in part of the process; after all, what's the point of collecting this water if you can't even be sure that it's safe to drink.
Even if, by some chance, it wasn't, water purification tablets are inexpensive and easy to access, so that still shouldn't prove to be much of a problem.
Well most of the water global warming is "giving" to us is being released into the ocean, and that's hardly useful without desalination.
If you think about how high up the fan blades are and where the moisture suction is taking place, it might not affect the breathing air so much.
I'm curious if this sort of technology could literally harvest clouds, maybe not on an actual structure but on an aircraft or something.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
