AI is just the NFT version of the GFR, again, in 2026 and much worse. No one will be hype farming it after this crash. All the larping “AI bro” channels will go. Influencers sitting on the beach with their laptops, shilling how it makes them $100,000 a month while they sleep. Those people will go… What I suspect will remain of the industry is a completely niche sector for specialised applications in schools, hospitals, higher education, and film & sound design; it can reduce some of the burden at work if implemented well. But most of the public will remain staunchly opposed to a subscription-based life where AI drives every IoT device in their home or vehicle and generates sloppy, hallucinated content that doesn’t help them but harms them.
NOTE: In a survey, over 60% of Microsoft users say they actively seek ways to bypass online account processes for local accounts and encourage others to do the same. If you can’t sell the idea of mandatory sign-in just for syncing desktops because everyone understands why a PC is exactly that “a Personal Machine”, everything is supposed to stay & run locally if it is indeed “YOUR COMPUTER”… I don’t see the big 5 generating the revenue through online subscriptions to get them out of that debt spiral; local open-source AI models and cheaper hardware are the only way I see plausible mass adoption happening.
When it comes to stock prices and value, I see the same kind of hype marketing surrounding it, not much happening in reality… Just a whopping 80 billion loss in only 6 months? It’s just freaking insane, and CoreWeave being downgraded & losing 54% in 12 months is the sort of thing I would expect from the crypto market, not mainstream big tech companies… The only real “mainstream application” I’ve witnessed thus far is an influx of low-skill hackers pulling off things they couldn’t have done otherwise, and more fake social media accounts than ever before… some things Robots, taxis, and trucks to replace workers, and creepy unwarranted surveillance systems nobody voted on to pay for. I’m sceptical that mainstream businesses implementing these applications will be reporting enough substantial revenue growth to offset their running costs in the end. That only leaves protein folding in medicine to “cure disease”, as if that will ever happen lol!

You’re confusing a cryptocurrency side hustle with mainstream business application suites.
