An AWS error took out a significant portion of online services for a good portion of the day just today, and cloud based services are by far the most popular consumer AI usage methods.
There's every reason to assume that AI infrastructure will break at some point, at least temporarily. Nevermind the incentives to monopolize and price gouge AI access in the future.
Apparently a lot of our infrastructure continues to be put up in US East, so power brownouts and lack of infrastructure development may smother AI for the next couple of years in the US.

Good.
That is a good point but if AI becomes indispensable it will just cause companies to have redundancy.
