This is true, but large miners also have beneficial electricity contracts and data center capacity, both suitable for AI workloads.

"don't work well for AI" is a hell of an understatement, the Application they are Specific to is literally just sha256(sha256(x)), what AI are you going to do with that?

GP probably didn't mean that hardware though, but rather the facility, electricity supply, cooling, etc.
