They increase the cost of consumer electricity and water; they increase the temperature of the local area; they generate (in some cases) heavy metal pollution and (in most cases) sound pollution.
It looks like some of them even threaten to render the region the occupy uninhabitable for humans, too! A lot of people are really concerned that the global invasive human epidemic, so they might like that.
Not to mention some idiot decided to put these water-pollution factories in places that historically have limited access to water and right now are experiencing one of the worst droughts of all time (at least in the top-5). People are a little protective of their precious water at times like these.
We all knew that this century’s history would come to be dominated by the Water Wars. We just never realized that AI would be one of the major combatants in those wars.

And they raise the prices of consumer electronics.
Also air pollution because quite a few are gas-powered (mobile units). Elon Musk’s among them.
The 10 year almost complete lack of regulation for all things AI might have something to do with it.
