For all the revolutionary change artificial intelligence promises, it also makes lofty demands. For starters, AI is extraordinarily power hungry. Generating all the electricity that AI datacenters consume takes forest-loads of energy, not to mention hardware and cooling infrastructure. That stuff all costs a lot, making AI a huge money pit. That's had a big effect on our economy, as the tiniest bit of AI hype can send huge shockwaves through Wall Street and beyond.
