We are supposed to believe that AI is a bubble and that it's over. "The last tech bubble gave us some deeply unserious 'innovations' like Web3 and the metaverse. But it also gave us a fourth industrial revolution, powered by the mobile internet, automation and artificial intelligence, the impacts of which will be playing out for decades to come." I don't think those were bubbles in any serious sense, and the 'fourth industrial revolution' was precisely about AI. I think that the companies and specific products related to AI are unimportant. I don't see the technology going away at any point in the future. It's already too useful to ignore.
