I would wager that the average person against the resource usage of AI datacenters are also against the resource usage for golf courses. The difference being that those opposing view LLMs as an inherently negative technology, and thus it is a waste of resources for something that is actively detrimental to society. Whereas golf courses are just golf, so the negative aspect is merely the resource usage.

That effect pales in comparison to the vitriol some have against LLMs.
