I heard that there would be a new Great Depression.

I’ve also heard a lot of different theories, and one of them interested me: after the bursting of the bubble, AI will not disappear anywhere, is it in vain that so many data centers were built? AI will be embedded everywhere, people won’t even be able to test how it works, “it works somehow, great!” because all human workers will be fired, not at once, of course, but gradually, In a few years, about 2-7 years to be exact(depending on the industry). And because of this, AI systems will begin to get out of control, this will cause incorrect diagnoses, failures in the banking system, arresting or killing innocent people by drones, and so on.

The reason I’ve explained this so poorly is because, in the first place, the topic of AI and the debate around it is terribly infuriating to me, and it’s obvious that the harm from AI won’t be able to compensate for the little benefit it will bring. Secondly, I use a translator, so my text may seem crooked, unnatural, or silly.

    True just like we can’t go back to the time before the internet. Some companies have a good business which happen to use Ai, they will likely be fine. Some companies only exist because they claim Ai and survive on vc money, they will likely die.

    There are uses of Ai. There are smart uses of Ai. There are incredibly stupid uses of Ai. There are some uses of Ai that are stupid now but will be industry standards in 30 years (think Netflix in late 90s) due to advancements in technology. If you know what companies will be which you could be a billionaire which is what people are betting on. But they are bets, no one really knows what will stick and what will burn…
