Don't play video games then. They've had AI in them for decades. Don't use computers or smart devices either. Don't watch any movie with CGI in it. They have also used AI in them for decades. 

That's not the same as the AI that needs data centres.

Lol, CGI needs data centers.

The biggest compute cost of training DLSS is almost certainly the synthetic data construction, which is really just producing thousands of beautiful offline render frames.

Disney and Pixar use the same data centers that are now being called "AI-ready." 

As an example, Avatar Way of Water used 13.6 million core hours on AWS' cloud service. Each frame required 3,000 CPU-hours worth of compute. They had to switch to AWS because Lightstorm's small data center that was on-site couldn't handle it.
