The cost of power cost increase alone on industry gonna erase all gains from it.

You can't consider it in vacuum. AI takes limited resources. So far it winded up cost on near every consumer electronics that runs an OS, and it winded up cost of energy that is used by the entire industry and every single customer

It's not just the cost of datacenters, it's cost of infrastructure (that given current direction of US govt will just be paid from people's fucking taxes and bills..) and cost of other industries turning outright unprofitable "thanks" to demands of AI
