They increase the cost of consumer electricity and water; they increase the temperature of the local area; they generate (in some cases) heavy metal pollution and (in most cases) sound pollution.
Not to mention some idiot decided to put these water-pollution factories in places that historically have limited access to water and right now are experiencing one of the worst droughts of all time (at least in the top-5). People are a little protective of their precious water at times like these.
We all knew that this century’s history would come to be dominated by the Water Wars. We just never realized that AI would be one of the major combatants in those wars.
Not to mention the probably worst part is that they needlessly consume energy which could have been used for actual useful purposes, adding more carbon emission at a time when we desperately need to lower that for the sake of not burning our own fucking planet.
It looks like some of them even threaten to render the region the occupy uninhabitable for humans, too! A lot of people are really concerned about the global invasive human epidemic, so they might like that.

What’s not to love? ;)
All that for basically no benefit whatsoever for the local population or economy.

And CEOs are using ai as the new excuse to not give raises on top of mass firings. They’re really expecting thank you cards?
trying to get right wing govts to adop sureveillance AI, and India to help build the datacenters in the country.
And they raise the prices of consumer electronics.
Also air pollution because quite a few are gas-powered (mobile units). Elon Musk’s among them.
The 10 year almost complete lack of regulation for all things AI might have something to do with it.
