As the AI market continues to balloon, experts are warning that its VC-driven rise is eerily similar to that of the dot com bubble.

We're too busy automating our jobs.

Really though, this was never like crypto/NFTs. AI is a toolset used to troubleshoot and amplify workloads. Tools survive no matter what, whereas crypto/NFT's died because they never had a use case.

Just because a bunch of tech bros were throwing their wallets at a wall full of start ups that'll fail doesn't mean AI as a concept will fail. That's no different than saying because of the dot.com bubble that websites and the Internet are going to be a fad.

Websites are a tool, just because everyone and their brother has one for no reason doesn't mean actual use cases won't appear (in fact they already exist, much like the websites that survived the internet bubble.)
