I was responding to you mentioning fiber. But of course, the "internet" does run on servers, which also have a replacement rate. There were data centers before AI, and they had a lifespan well below 30 years.

I'm not arguing that the current build out isn't crazy, just that AI isn't going away. Just like everyone thought the internet was a fad, but then it continued to grow (remember web 2.0). AI will morph into something useful and will be sticking around, even if we can't envision what it will look like.
