...building datacenters will not lower the cost.

The cost (real, not investment hype subsidized one) will only drop with:

* more efficient models * GPU/RAM market going back to reasonable pricing.

The AI bubble pumped the second into unstustainable pricing and progress on first is going.. slowly.
