AI research demand is a lot easier for AMD/Nvidia to project, which allows them to ramp up production and keep prices stable.

Side note: AI research is more beneficial to society than running a few instances of Crysis 9 at 4K 120HZ.

...potentially more beneficial. Also potentially very harmful depending on what it gets used for.
Let's just say that AI research can be useful, and thus this use of GPU time and electricity can be useful; in contrast to the alternative alternative-GPU-use, which is not useful in the first place.
Also much better than calculating the inverse of hash functions!
