What will we do with all the datacenters once the subsidies for AI usage will disappear?

I work at an ewaste recycling company. I expect we'll see some high end Nvidia Tesla GPUs coming through, just like the Ant Miners (Bitcoin ASICs) a few weeks ago.
Good place as any to ask: can you give a rough percentage of how much material can be recycled from high-end electronics like GPUs? 5%? 20%?
Is it mostly rarer and more expensive materials like gold/lithium, or is it mainly bulk plastic and aluminium?

No idea, aside from the steel chassis and copper/aluminum heatsinks. My company collects devices, sorts and disassembles them, and sells the scrap. Since we collect a lot of stuff that still works (like decommissioned corporate IT equipment), I work in the refurb division[0], so I don't have much insight into how much material can get broken down and recycled.
They will be used to create new kinds of advertising. Commercials and banner ads that are indistinguishable from magic.
It makes me feel so uneasy to think that the most probably answer is the one that will result in the most human misery.
