The AI Bubble

[Fortify]

Customer Service AI is brilliant, Imaging, Video too, Drohne and warfare all good. But not one thing where people say I buy the AI browser for $5 per month when the non AI Browser is just as good.

Additionally comes a huge security concern, AI is made to collect data, people  don't seem to care.  

The AI Bubble is closing its bursting point. That should make the management wake up, it is the management's biggest failure to beware Investors for overexposure, They don't care.  

You seem to be mixing up a lot of different things and somehow trying to mingle it into a connection to AI. What has the cost of living in India, with it's lower dollar denominated costs, compared to the USA got to do with AI? I think very little, it's merely trying to squeeze some profit out of a country that otherwise Netflix would struggle to keep a foothold in. It could even be an Amazon type play where they lose money or make very little in the hopes of turning a larger profit by cranking up fees on the userbase in a few years. While I do believe that AI is often overhyped and a buzz word that marketing people use to wow naive executives, it will certainly be revolutionary in some business areas and that is already taking shape now. Ignore that at your peril.

AI is all present, many apps have an all new approach trying to force you onto the AI bandwagon. Their issue is to make it important enough that we pay.

Is this not mediocrity of its highest order, when we are using our hard earned money to pay for what we have no trust in and cannot be accurate in maximum delivery with consistency, many of us could even perform well and more better than some of these bots we tend to go after in making investment through, but because many already left the normal and required procedures behind, then they begin to run after what is not it.

This happens because as technology evolves where digital marketing has become a high intensity for advertising products and the audience picks interest of it to boycott intensifying protocols.
Usually, the AI is limited to perform certain tasks but because a developer somewhere there who claims the bot can do exceedingly above all protocols assigned to humans.

And once it has to do with logics and techniques, some people feels just so lazy to use their senses or energies. Instead, they tend to believe the bots would excellently performance better than themselves just because the AI is programed software whereas, some people out of lack of low degree of experiences believes AI is more reliable than human aids.

I am not completely sure whether this is a bubble or not, though.
I have used artificial intelligence myself and there is an actual use for this technology and it will surely save a lot of time and work in the future and continues to get better and better with each year that passes by.
Though, the actual threat to all this hype and over-selling is the fact there are hundred of artificial intelligences in the market and people cannot afford to have premium access to all of them, people of low income can only access to those who are free, like Meta AI or Gemini by Google, which are good enough for the basic tasks of image edition, text generation or deep research.

There is still a lot of potential to be extracted out of artificial intelligence and of this is a bubble then I believe there are still far away from the collapse of the cycle. Soon we will even see non-playable characters in videogames powered by AI, without little to no programming at all.

I understand that this technology, despite its usefulness, is receiving insane amounts of investment. Yes, I also use neural networks and love generating images or self-learning. But too many scam projects have received funding from investors. No one knows how far this technology will go, just as blockchain once did. Right now, all prospects are ephemeral, even though we've never seen anything like it. The author of this thread simply means that the hype is too high.

I have used it and will do so as long as I'm not forced to install it.

All cooperation is done with massive User sites, i.e. Reddit so data-mining is highly probable.

Let me ask: do you pay for the AI services?
Does the advantage of AI (making everyone capable to create a deep fake) justify 1.5 Trillion $ investment?
I don't take everyone's word as fact, That is the only way not being manipulated.

Especially countries, almost all indebted heavily, invest in AI.

If you write texts, you are faster writing them without AI, due to AI focusing on blablabla you need to re-edit your texts. Which need time. 
If you program you need to debug the out put of AI and understand the logic behind the programming.

Many managers grew up in times where income was worth more. from 1990 to 2025 people have los 50% purchasing power. And that with raising prices.
The very reason a bubble is much more likely.

While AI is getting a lot more investment and funding, the reality is that it requires way too much power to run it for now. There isn't some easy way that they figured out yet, it's just not happening. So for it to work and be better, it needs more and more power, that means more GPU's, more servers, more water, basically more of everything which in the end just means more money.

While I understand that every company is working on their vision, it would have been smarter to combine them all to one, because then all resources would go towards just one, and that would give us huge boost. But that's unrealistic to expect from companies, so we are going to end up with different ones. OpenAI seems to be getting great funding and Nvidia partnership, so I bet they will be the biggest.

I think that the trend is still there and they're on a race and that's why fundings can happen left and right as long as the AI agent that they're developing looks got the potential.

As long as there is a resource for an AI project to keep moving. They'll just spend on cooling, servers, and all equipment needed. I've heard that chatgpt is spending a lot of water for cooling their servers and when someone prompts on it, it consumes a lot.

There might be some solutions that they're addressing on this problem and could be solved in the future. Because not only energy that it consumes but also waters which they've said to also cause not only power shortage but also water shortage.

I know few youtubers that are making $20,000 per month with AI and content creation, they use AI to generate stories from the past and make them look more detailed in animation form and upload them, this is how they make money  nonstop, people digest a lot of those crime stories.

Can you give examples? How did you know they make $20k per month, too? That's a lot of money considering how many people hate AI content nowadays. Don't they get any pushback because they don't pay or hire creators who can draw/illustrate their stories? I know one or two channels that posted horror stories and use little AI, mostly for subtitles. They still hire voice actors instead of using AI to narrate them, though.

20k is a lot of money bro, if this is true then many would've been doing this kind of content on YouTube everyday, why are people doing it actually hiding the secret from other users, I've come across many adverts on Facebook showing how to use AI to make videos on YouTube and earn high sum monthly.

I don't believe in such advert because if it's actually working for them, they wouldn't have come look for others to teach, it's all lies.

Bubble suggests its going to pop and leave nothing but a vacuum or empty space behind.  I doubt that will be the case with AI as it has uses, it just needs proper training and guidance to utilize that power.
   Whats more likely is less absolute, the effectiveness of the technology will advance and stall to varying degrees but I think the possibility for this sector to expand a decade or more is quite clear which is not really a bubble.

   Its possible stock prices over estimate revenue and earnings expansion, they tend to do that but the equity market falling back wouldn't be the same as the entire technology being found to be false.

AI isn't a bubble. The level it has reached is actually one of the most impacting events of our days. It's astonishing how AI took control of internet in only 3 years (since 2022). Moreover, it's surprising how fast it's being developed and improved right now.

What you could claim to be a bubble are the schemes trying to take a ride on AI's train, just like those altcoins tokens projects which use AI slogans for marketing purposes. They aren't innovative, they aren't useful, they don't bring daily usercases neither solutions for the market, rather they are solely speculative investments without long term sustainability. These are indeed a bubble, although AIs in general can't be put on this same dirty basket.

I think we should stop spreading FUD by calling things bubbles. A lot of people who wanted to invest in Bitcoin when it was sub 10K did not do so because others convinced them it was a "bubble". But even though I completely agree that bubbles happen, how often do these bubbles really happen? Not as often as we think.

AI is definitely weaving itself into our society to the point of being hardwired into our daily lives with provable useful- and never before reached outcomes. And we are still at the beginning.

We don't live in the lala country where everyone drinks honey and never gets ill. So don't be so sensitive to not so rosy scenarios.

What is hindering the success of AI? Empty pockets of the people the AI companies aim at. In the 80's last century most people had 20 bucks spare, in 2025 they don't.

You wonder why? 1990 €100 bought a substantial amount of food, for the same amount and the same ingredients you need €223 in 2025.
Coupled with raised insurances, higher cost of living there is the reason why AI won't make it.
Investors have years to wait, wait and hope.

How are the chances that the working class could double their income?
And how high are the chances they'd blow it on AI?

Time will tell. So far they are pressing too hard. Google already downsized its AI assistance so have DDG and Bing.
