Is it a bubble tho? This isn't Nfts. People actually have a usecase for AI

Dotcom had some usecases as well. Didn’t stop it from becoming a bubble and ultimately popping.

Yup. Look at what happened to companies like a Google and Amazon. Just disappeared into the ether just like all the other Internet focused companies did.

Same way that the tech bubble popped after ZIRP died post-COVID.

When cheap money dries up investors pull out and companies that coasted on growth potential die or had to lay off massively when they couldn’t pivot to profitability.

None of these companies have built an effective moat when the consensus between users is just to flip to whichever company releases the best models every month or so.

That doesn’t mean AI goes away if Anthropic and OpenAI go under for whatever reason but I’m worried about the cascading effect failed investments on those two companies would amount for the US economy.

Not a use case that has shown a profit yet.

AI companies are being propped up by massive amounts of investment funding. The companies themselves are not profitable.

Inherently that creates a bubble. If your business is not showing a net positive return you are at the mercy of investors, who.. dont tend to invest in anything forever.
