@nprofile1q... And I am curious as to why you think that I think so.
Of course it is. In fact, I explicitly mentioned in another reply that the increased demand from AI could result in increased energy prices for everyone - although prices are impacted by many factors, so I'd like to see evidence that this is actually happening.
What *is* preposterous is assuming that the demand for energy comes *only* from AI and that if AI didn't exist, this energy wouldn't be generated.
