I can imagine a situation where this is true, like if it was used by some company to train an internal model or a model that never got released.
But even assuming the data center was only used for AI model training, more or less everyone who uses any electronics now either uses generative AI directly themselves or uses services whose employees use generative AI at work to create those services. AI is extremely popular and widespread now among many large and diverse groups of people.

- alex0015 3mo agoSure, people might not like AI by some narrow definition or choose not to use it themselves. But roughly every single service they consume or interact with is downstream of AI at some level now. The demand isn't just for chatbot usage and hasn't been for a long time.
- watwut 3mo agoThat does not make ai "extremely popular". Instead, it is source of anger. That is what I called "forced to use AI".
