Crypto-miners are switching to AI token farming when bitcoin is low. They have compute that's both installed and powered, so why not do what pays better?

For bitcoin at least, you need totally different silicon.

I guess you could share the power supply and cooling infra, but I am dubious the savings are enough to have half your silicon idle all the time.
