I'm not really an AI hater, although I would say I think humanity would be better off if AI never existed. I have taken the road of choosing to embrace it, because fighting it isn't going to do anything but put me behind.
Still, the focus should have been on efficiency in how much computing workload it needs. AI isn't even that revolutionary, it's just we finally got the computing power and miniaturization to be able to do these stupid scales of it. It's still just a decision tree of move, add, compare, jump.
The one thing that I get behind AI on is using it to mindlessly finish some of the retarded administrative tasks that are the product of our age. I love that it writes my notes for me. While the patient is yapping about every detail it will pick it all up and record it so they are happy with the end product and I can focus on the keywords I'm looking for while placing orders. Every quarter they add a new requirement to our medical notes and it turns them into a huge block of verification statements and disclaimers.

Data centers are an abomination that kill jobs while skyrocketing utilities, other than that couldn’t give two shits about AI in general.
Not to mention cause pollution and destroy nature for absolutely zero gain (if a bunch of terminally online gooners even care about that).
Pretty much... They're investing so heavily it's not going away. Learn it or get left behind.
That's what they said about EVs and battery tech.
This isn't comparable
The blocker is the electrical grid can't handle a complete switch to EV and private investors can't enter the auto sales market that easily.
However... When it comes to AI data centers, that IS something private investors can just throw money at and have built or influence.
A better comparison is learning computers, modern cell phones and various Internet tasks.
