Generally the US should start having a not shoddy electricity grid, brown- and blackouts and you call yourself a developed country?

I just want to say I've never had a brownout in my part of the US, and the only blackouts we've had are due to weather or a car hitting a pole or something. And our electricity is inexpensive.

I've mostly heard of these issues in California and Texas, because of unique issues with their power utilities.

And yeah, I think both the AI hype and disdain are stupid. It's a tool that does less than proponents claim and more than detractors claim. Don't blame all our problems on it, and don't suggest it'll solve all our problems.
