This sounds more like the prices would be going up because a new emerging hobby has a need for multiple extremely powerful GPUs the same way crypto mining did. That hobby just happens to be running AI at home instead of using cloud services. So there would be a drop in supply as a few hoarders snap up everything for that or to scalp at higher prices.

They just literally can't make them fast enough to keep prices stable against the shitty kinds of consumers.
