To be honest ai datacentres would be a rip and replace to get back to normal datacentre density, at least on the cooling and power systems.

Maybe useful for some kind of manufacturing or industrial process.

Cheap compute would be a boon for science research.

It'll likely be used to mine bitcoin instead.

The GPUs, sure. The mainboards and CPUs can be used in clusters for general-purpose computing, which is still more prevalent in most scientific research as far as I am aware. My alma mater has a several-thousand-core cluster that any student can request time on as long as they have reason to do so, and it's all CPU compute. Getting non-CS majors to write GPU code is unlikely in that scenario.
