It will be like the dot com bubble in many ways. Back in the late 1990’s every other TV commercial was for Pets.com, Ask Jeeves regularly had a balloon in the Macys Thanksgiving parade, and Lycos was pushing to be the home page for everybody. They never recovered after the bubble burst, and companies like Google quickly took over.
In a similar vein I think a lot of the AI big hitters will vanish once this bubble bursts, leaving one or two lucky/cautious ones still around to scavenge the pieces. But I don’t think companies will be so hung ho about using AI for everything once that happens.
