whats up with these shit ass titles? It's not even REMOTELY hidden, it takes two fucking seconds of googling to figure this shit out.
The entire AI industry was dependent on GPU hardware manufacturers, and nvidia is STILL back ordered (to my knowledge)
This is like saying that crypto has a hidden energy cost.
For you it might be clear. For the overwhelming majority of people, this is news. People don't know shit about tech. Most would assume the AI thingy does its thing on the local computer.
Or there are bigger fish to fry like coal power plants and wasted idle etc. shit Google's AI search results are wasteful in some cases but I've found it to actually improve my experience but I use a mix of search engines. You can always use one without AI or turn it off. It's being pushed into almost every search though which I really don't think is useful, and it would be best if they cached the answers instead of regeneration on command. They may cache some though.
