When it pops, will the current pervasive LLM and Gen’AI’ slop dry up as their companies go under? Will LLM and agentic chatbots be removed from all the apps that have been shoehorning them into everything? Or will just some companies go under, some stocks lose value and people’s 401ks are hollowed out
It’s a lose-lose proposition whether the bottom of it falls out or not. The investment in AI is the only healthy looking “growth” sector in our economy. So if you don’t want what feels like the looming recession to happen, then you want this fantasy to continue. But this fantasy is built on this evil technology.
And so when the bubble pops, and suddenly everyone has to pay for this shit by way of enduring a recession, at least that will make using AI itself less palatable because it won’t be available for its current highly subsidized pricing, but those unemployment rates and prices on things will likely be going up.
But the technology isn’t going away, much like how the atomic bomb isn’t going away. It exists. It’s part of reality now.
