why did they call them “ai datacenters” when they could have called them “slopping malls”

Do “AI datacentres” actually exclusively run AI workloads, or are they generic datacentres where a bunch of the servers have GPUs?
From what I know yes. A regular data center has data storage. AI data centers are just GPU and CPU with minimal memory capacity. Though, I could be mistaken.
Memory capacity depends on the application, but all the AI servers I’ve seen are full of memory. Shared storage isn’t always too big, but again that’s application dependent.
