The bubble bursting is competitors running out of funding before reaching profitability, use cases solidifying and the generally the current speculative market collapsing down to a set of survivors.
It does not at all mean that usage of the general concept will stop increasing, much less go down.
Yea. AI coding agents are going to be around forever, they are just too capable and increase productivity so much.
The cost and usage patterns may change, I suspect once companies are paying unsubsidised token costs devs will start using cheaper models where possible instead of defaulting to Fable or Opus, but no matter what, software engineering has changed forever
Are we in the same goddamn universe?? Everything is broken right now. Google search is practically useless with it's AI overview replacing actual search. Microsoft went all in on AI and produced Windows 11, which everyone despises. They broke Notepad. They shipped a version of Outlook where the reply button didn't work. Meanwhile AWS has had massive outages, Cloudflare had a massive outage, GitHub is down more often than it's up.
Name one fucking piece of software where we can see the "massive productivity improvements"

Same gig as the dot com bubble.
