It's because we're shifting from retrieval-based to generative computing. Traditional computing works more like a digital library where you store, search, and retrieve info that already exists. That doesn't require very much processing power. Generative AI is different. Every time you feed it a prompt, the system has to perform enormous amounts of computation across massive GPU clusters to generate a response in real time. That requires huge amounts of electricity, networking, and cooling. Imagine doing that for millions of people asking questions, generating images, or creating videos at the same time. That’s why demand for data centers is exploding.
