I think that kind of thing is one of the main problems with the 'AI bubble'. It's probably a misallocation of capital, spending billions on energy sucking data centers people don't especially want which leaves less money for things like paying creatives to make anime shows people do want.
In properly functioning capitalism entrepreneurs would look at what they can make a profit at due to people paying for it because they want it and invest in that but the hype wave seems to be causing an over allocation to heavily loss making activities.
And I say that as a believer that AGI is on the way but that it will come from smart computer folk designing better systems, not from more gigawatts of data centers.
