Do we need to worry about skyrocketing electricity and commodity costs in the future related to ai

S

S2007S

Talk is that the infrastructure build out of these thousands of ai data centers is going to suck up an immense amount of electricity, that in some cases maybe the grid won't be able to handle. It is said that the infrastructure in the US needs trillions and trillions of dollars to fix everything that is falling apart as many areas in the US have been neglected for decades...now we have data centers popping up around the world ready to suck up all the energy...so should we worry about the possibility of skyrocketing commodities leading to the future growth of ai and all its major scaling??

Absolutely not.

We need tons of electricity and commodity costs to power the AI.

Then AI will come up with a smart
solution to lower the electricity and commodity costs.

Ahhh so ai is just that good. It will figure out how to lower the costs so that no consumers are ever feeling the pinch of higher costs of the electricity that's powering every data center world wide...now can ai go beyond electricity and teach us how to effectively pay less for gas as well. I mean why would I want to pay $3.89 when ai can fix the supply and demand of oil regulation where we can now pay say $1.08...
 
Yeah, everyone is "AI! EV! AI! EV!" but the electrical supply received few upgrades. And when upgrades are needed, the price of electricity will go up. People got used to the fact that grids were developed a long time ago and costs went down over time.
 
There is the theory that once the AI takes control, it will boil the oceans and cover the whole surface of the earth in solar panels. I guess it can put nuclear power plants underground and tap into the heat from the mantle as well.

Oooh. Nooo. Gotta love these ai scenarios. As much as everyone is embracing it.....the fear of ai control is literally taking over the mindset of every individual ....

%%
S2007S link mentioned a tech leader with a chip that uses 25% less power.
Media hype of AI does not seem to hurt it, yet .
2 ] EVs sales trending down lower, just in time.
Maybe AI can solve the problem of people stealing the copper from EV chargers??

Seems everyone is counting on AI to do everything.....

People steeling copper because it's at a historical high...they could just buy the copper etfs and make free money without stealing it from EV chargers.

huh?
If they buy copper etf and the price goes down, they will be weeping and gnashing their teeth in despair.

If they steal copper from EV chargers, it is free money (provided they are not caught).
