Different I/O, power and cooling requirements for majority GPU workloads?

GPUs have been in high demand since cryptocurrency became a thing? Are you saying that something built for AI can't be used for other workloads?

This strikes me as a combination of semantics and false equivalence. You might as well argue that a new crowd of people illegally dirt-biking in a public park isn’t a meaningful change because people with baby strollers are have also technically been violating the “no vehicles” sign for years.

Not nearly with this density and power.

The power an "AI data center uses" in a single rack used to be, or is still in many cases, the power draw of an entire room or even floor.

Going from a few megawatts to ~10GW.

Bitcoin Mining is 138–205 TWh annually. Surely that's more than a few data centers.
