This phony ass article is lying from at least the third paragraph:
One striking example is the Oya Hybrid Power Station in South Africa. Here, AI-driven controls seamlessly co-ordinate solar, wind and battery storage to deliver reliable power to up to 320,000 households. Using AI makes this kind of integration not only possible, but dramatically more efficient.
In reality construction hasn't even started:

And I guarantee that the use of "AI" here just means optimized automation. Why would they even need an "AI" to run a power plant? This whole grift is so dumb.
- Why would they even need an “AI” to run a power plant?
  Because when you call your automation "AI", no matter how dumb PID or whatever you might be running, the product is at least 30% more fancy and gains more news articles, possibly funding and atleast some coffee with pastries and pats on the back to some front figure in a suit.
Yeah, and the unregulated gas turbines powering the data centers are providing year-round heating for the cities, too!
LOL fuck off with this blatant bullshit
The instant I read this headline I thought it’s satire or lie-filled-propaganda
It’s propaganda
Total bullshit
As an AI enthusiast:
[x] Doubt
holy crap. i went in with an open mind and it just got worse and worse as I kept reading.
i hope whatever AI firm commissioned this propaganda at least paid well.
I do t believe that for a second.
it would be interesting to hear your opinion, @Pro@programming.dev, why did you think you want to post this here
- Why not?
  
  because most of us know this is bullshit
Cleaner, smarter energy grids
Meanwhile data centers running AI use a lot of fossil fuels. If their own data centers can't manage it with renewables, it's not sure they can manage it with a city.
