i think most people here conflate ai with data centers. datat centers exist with out ai and you can use ai without data centers. local ai fills a lot of needs and in the next two years there will be more home hardware to run it. nvidia just announced a new consumer chip , coming out later this year, to run models at home.

in my eyes, the bubble has always been paying a company to use their ai. sure it has places for science and medicine but most of us dont use it for that.

so AI is a tool, how its used or implemented is the problem.
