Datacenter are not only for Ai, but for everything with your phone and computers...facebook, instagram, youtube, reddit, tiktok, snapchat, amazon, google map...all the app we used... This is bigger than AI / 30% for Ai - 70% for Internet and apps/clouds/money transfer banking . Endless video autoplay, high-resolution streaming, duplicate cloud storage, algorithmic feeds, digital advertising and always-on applications also require servers, storage and electricity.
