“For this not to be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this are much more evenly spread,”
I would correct that to say ‘for this to not be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this a. Exist and b. Are significant enough to justify the extreme costs of building these systems’
Right now I don’t see anything coming out of this that justifies even 1/10 of the $trillions being poured into AI.
In fact I think you could make an argument that the net result is negative, even for businesses that adopt it, due to the increased prices they will pay for hardware over the next few years. If it makes your employees 5% more efficient great, if it makes your technology 50% more expensive in return, not so great.

Not much of a “boom” then is it?

Maybe if the companies that secured dibs on the chips crash and have to fold, those chips will end up on the consumer market after all

The customer is always right in matters of taste and style.
If you can’t get (and keep) customers for your product: that’s your problem.

Pictured: Nadella holding in his hands all the profit M$ can make in the next 30 years even if AI booms like he really really really wants it to.
artificial intelligence (AI) risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.
Oh, you mean there is a risk it becomes the thing it already is? Boy, imagine that!
The really funny thing is how he says that “the benefits need to spread outside the tech sector”. Golly gee, I wonder why other sectors haven’t benefited yet! Could it be that it’s not worth the hype and it does not improve anything that typical computer systems are already working on, like managing electrical grids, keeping track of shipments, avionics, etc? Nah, it’s all the doomers’ fault

AI is not a bad thing, but it’s way more niche compared to what was promised. There’s certainly way less demand for it than these big investors want people to believe.

No, the AI boom will falter one way or another. Free open source models will out perform proprietary models by the end of this year. The amount of money that customers will actually pay for AI services is much lower than expected. It really is similar to the dotcom bubble and how briefly people thought domain names were going to be insanely valuable.

They’re just bitter that they don’t have 3 domain names they never got around to doing anything with.
Mine will pay off one of these decades…(This is sarcasm, and an admission of my own foolishness.)
