Realistically the hidden costs of AI are huge. Microchips are the very peak end of manufacturing complexity and require an entire global supply chain in order to produce. While there are other uses for microchips, automation is the ultimate use, and AI is the current pursuit. I would argue you could consider the entire global tech economy as being part of the cost of AI. The real costs are huge.

For example the 'entire tech economy' produces more efficient engines, devices that save on fertilizer planting crops, machines that sequence genes, etc. Attempting to handwave AI as a cost of this, unless you can otherwise explain, seems like you're saying "Climbing down from the trees was a mistake"
