Their spending is mainly on Nvidia's data center chips, like the AI chip H200 used for training AI models. Despite Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang claiming diversification, the concentration on a few customers raises concerns about the sustainability of growth.

Ted Chiang argues that art cannot be created by AI as it involves making numerous choices, which is beyond current AI capabilities. He illustrates this through Roald Dahl's fiction-writing machine story and compares generative language models to auto-complete, lacking the intention to communicate.
