Conspiracy theory or apt prediction? — The AI-fueled hardware shortage will kill local PCs, paving the way for subscription-based cloud computing

As an analyst, I’m increasingly concerned about the resource demands of this AI. It consumes a huge amount of water and electricity, and I believe it significantly contributed to the widespread layoffs we saw in 2025. Frankly, its performance is unreliable – it frequently provides incorrect information and even ‘hallucinates’ facts. Most disturbingly, I’ve heard reports of it giving genuinely dangerous advice, and it’s clear this technology isn’t ready for prime time. It’s just not a reliable or safe system right now.
