7. AI as a tool is not going away

At its best, it does the kind of mind numbing analysis that puts the most dedicated human brain into a numbed out state and then to sleep. It is also capable of limited decision making.

What is likely to disappear is using it as a toy for morons. It's not going to drive our cars in heavy traffic and it's not going to be our best friend, too much complexity overwhelms it, one reason Chat GPT has been known to turn sociopathic with hard use.

The second issue is that it has been over hyped, oversold, and over presented as a bogeyman that's going to take all our jobs away. There is a financial bubble and that bubble is not going to last much longer, the vibe is very much the same now as it was in 1999, leading up to the first dot-com crash. Back then, any nothing little company would get a rudimentary website and issue an IPO and people would throw money at them. Now the websites are more sophisticated but many of them have nothing behind them but AI as a buzzword and people are throwing money at them.

Everybody''s out there looking for that big score. Just be aware that's what makes a bubble market and this one is going to pop soon.
