It will be once the bubble pops. Small local tuned models for specific tasks that the user powers are much less expensive for the tech companies than tech companies powering and watering datacenters.
Right now the tech bros genuinely think people will be cool paying hundreds of dollars a month to rent a GPU for all their Internet tasks. AI fatigue is already setting in.
The tech bros’ investors will pull funding once they realize how asinine that is long-term. Probably already starting to, with the likes of Zuck trying to use green charity money to fund his LLMs.
This is also why the AI datacenter race is so asinine. All the datacenters drinking all the water and power will end up being even more pointless wastes of resources in short order.
Obviously the tech bros are just doing the datacenter land-grab as a pissing match because they’re bored billionaires that need to get a life, and love creating nonsense contests. It is just terrible that so many naive communities will be bilked out of resources (or made sick and die from the pollution) as a result.
