So much cynicism and misinformation on this forum. The government is not building the data centers. This isn't big brother. And while your cell phone very likely is 'spying' on you more than those companies like to openly admit, that is not what is driving the explosion in data centers either. There are endless real-world and financially-compelling applications for AI, coming from almost all industries. That is where the demand for data centers is coming from. And just because the answer you got to one question, from one AI engine, from their free offerings, might not have been a great answer - that is not a good indicator of what is really going on either. Once you understand how they work, and how to get the best out of them, it really is a game-changer. Are the industry and the stock market a little too bullish on the potential right now? Probably. But there will be no going back. How many on here would give up the internet or their smartphone these days? Those largely came out of the last tech bubble in the late 90's and early 00's. The bubble burst, but the technology continued to evolve and grow. This bubble will burst too, but the technology and the use cases for it will not be going away.
