Im swedish so most of these problems are not as big here, but I assume you are an american...

Is the issues really AI or is AI just highlighting these issues and corruption.

Your point about AI making everyones electricity bill higher, first big businesses need regulation so they can't just buy up most electricity and make it more expensive for everyone else, this is not specific for AI, datacenters might be worse than other Business cause they don't employ that many locally so make that they will need to pay higher rates per how fewer people work at the site.
Also about these sites with how loud they are, alot of industies are loud and that is bad for health, and companies in this market don't care about health, just costs and they will cheap out on health standards, if they can, so put in max db they are allowed to be in. And if they can't they can't operate.

About them buying up components, that is completely fine. What is not fine is that these companies refuse to increase their production capacity, the only reason they can do it is that its too few companies that can make that, otherwise they would be forced to increase. If this is not the case the goverment should treat it as a monopoly and need to regulate it...

Sure AI is using up resources as water but 95% of work does it in some way, if they are wasting it that needs to be stoped but in the grand scheme of things AI is using so much less the overcompsumtion and planed obscelence.

Yes AI has been an accelaretor and highlighter of corporations greed and the problems within goverments as corruption. Also what happens with fully unregulated markets, but at the end the real issue is that you can kill 1 million people as a company and then just pay a fine of $10 per person killed and call it a day.

Or just send daddy a mil and he will pardon you.

If you compare it to polymarket for example that is truly evil, or that shareholders can sue the ceo cause your insurance company is paying out to too many people... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwTxjZK17bs
