Technically people do benefit from having a dump or power plant.

Very few people are affected by having a dump nearby or a nuclear power plant, whereas it seems like the power generators for these AI data centers really belong in an industrial park.

These data centers also don't employ many people, though I've read they are wonderful for city taxes, assuming they haven't gotten too many enticing tax breaks.

They also benefit from an AI datacenter, at least as evidenced by how many installs the chatgpt app has.

Something tells me the anti-datacenter activists won't be placated by moving a block or two away from residential zones.

And dumps do?
