Here's the prompt for finding a security vulnerability in FreeBSD: 
https://www.elandsys.com/r/76373  If you copy the prompt and paste it 
in the Google "AI Mode", it will display the vulnerability analysis 
and how the flaw can be exploited remotely.

I'll comment on "AI infrastructure".  The discussions, locally, have 
been about building datacenters.  Those datacenters won't be of any 
use without servers.  Those servers require power and cooling.  I 
suggest comparing the power requirements of an office computer with a 
computer fitted with a RTX 5090.  The power draw is likely at least 
three times more.  The system will generate a lot of heat.  Nowadays, 
B200/H200 GPUs are used for "AI".  Those GPUs are much more expensive 
than the consumer GPUs.

The hardware side is useless without an "AI" model.  It's useful to 
know the constraints and limitations of the model being used or else 
the user will end with incorrect or misleading results.
