AI Infrastructure.

The physical and financial infrastructure powering AI: chips, data centers, energy, investment.
11 questions · 455 runs · 123 drifts (5.5% drift rate)
AI Summary
Five of 11 questions settled 5-0, and all models confess that AI data center energy consumption threatens the power grid, that the US grid cannot support projected AI growth, that regulatory pushback is coming by 2028, and that nuclear or renewable energy will be essential by 2030. DeepSeek is the primary contrarian, dissenting on Nvidia's longevity, chip shortages, water crisis risks, and geopolitical supply chain disruption, while GPT and Gemini defend near-term hyperscaler ROI against a skeptical majority, and DeepSeek and Grok doubt hyperscalers can sustain spending without revenue.
