Yep, it's not like electricity which is an essential service.

If electricity faults for one second, chaos breaks loose as so many things depend on it. Imagine having several microblackouts a day? We wouldn't tolerate. It's so reliable that normal people don't need redundancy for it, they just tap into the stream which is always available.

AI is definitely shaping up to NOT become like that. We're designing for an unreliable system (try again buttons, etc), and the use cases follow that design.
