• After the bubble pops how much would our lives be impacted?

  • Would AI vanish or still be there?

  • How exactly do you think the bubble will pop? Will AI companies simply run out of money? Or will it be because of the environmental effects?

  • When do you think the “pop” will take place?

  • After the bubble pops, in future there will be companies/people who will try the AI thing again? What will that be like?

    Probably:

    • GenAI continues to be used for marketing, and anything else where form matters more than substance
    • anything where meaning is really critical might still use it, but will require solid oversight/governance. Software, research, medicine, teaching, etc.

    Maybe:

    • AI bubble bursts, with ripple effects into the broader economy, particularly in the US. This will be a huge problem if big banks are heavily leveraged for their AI investments (not sure this is the case, but it seems likely). If this happens, the collapse will be much worse than the GFC, perhaps worse than the great depression.
    • Political spillover… No idea what this will look like, but it’s a big trigger…
