The bubble bursting doesn’t mean AI will go away and no one will ever use it again, just as the dot com burst didn’t mean people stopped using the web.
It just means the VC money will eventually dry up, the hype will die down, and we’ll start seeing AI as a useful tool, with plenty of porblems, rather than the dawn of a new age or whatever. Oh and the stock market will be bad for a while.
