I think what many people miss is that energy became far less location dependent if you put compute next to its generation. The latency for token generation is not so important. So the ratios between energy consumed, bandwidth and latency would in theory favour building dark token factories in remote but optimal locations. But i guess construction and logistics are an issue.
cost.
the amount of things that before cost you either hours or real money went down to a chat with a few sentences.
it makes it suddenly possibly to scale an (at least semi-) savy tech person without other humans and that much faster.
this directly gives it a very tanglible value.
the "market" might not be huge for this and yes, its mostly youtubers and influencers that "get this". Mainly because the work they do is most impacted by it. And that obviously amplifies the hype.
but below the mechanics of quite a big chunk of "traditional" digital work changed now in a measurable way!
