When the "Web" bubble burst, were we left without websites? No.

When the AI bubble bursts, it isn't going away either. It replaces too much labor. Training the AI models is expensive, but running them isn't. Especially on Lemmy, too many dullards don't understand why AI is so popular; it's because it's replacing your job - or allowing 1 person to do the jobs of 10.

The claimed amount of labour it could potentially replace is in fact part of the bubble.

The fact that you can claim this unironically, speaks volumes of your ignorance.

https://huggingface.co/models -- Check out all of the things that various AI models can do. They aren't just LLMs and Diffusors.

I never said that they can't serve a function, just that corporations like openai have a vested interest inflating their potential impact on the job market.

True, but many MANY companies went under during the dot com burst and made server hardware cheaper on the secondary market for a while

Same will happen with the AI bubble, there will undoubtedly be a few survivors, but many won't. There will be dead startups everywhere.
