I’m really wondering when you think the AI “bubble” will burst, and I admit I’m really waiting for that moment!

Apologies if this question has already been asked somewhere else in this community. I’m not the best at searching to see if it’s already been asked…

    Historically, these sorts of bubbles last approximately five years, but no one can say for sure. I am planning around 2027 being the year it pops because of this historical trend, going off a timeline based on ChatGPT being released in 2022.

    Personally, I am going to evaluate my investments after the Christmas season and likely take profit on many and move them to cash or money markets. The markets have been schizophrenic for years and I expect after the mid-terms that Donald will put boots on the ground in Iran and make everything much worse economically. I might lose a small amount of profit in the short-term from this, but people need to remember that the numbers you’re seeing in your accounts are not real until you actually take profit, and I’m find with losing out on a small amount of potential profit and being able to reinvest a large amount at post-crash prices.

    Further, the sorts of tactics the Mag7 are using to keep the bubble inflated do not work interminably. At some point you have to actually make money, and their only options in the short-term are ads, which everyone fucking hates, or charging subs, which clearly most people don’t want to pay for in order to use a chatbot when you can access one freely elsewhere, as evidenced by the fact that none of these fucking AI companies are profitable.
