We still have 2-3 years IMO. Investment momentum hasn't dropped enough yet, and a lot of money going to data center construction is going to result in actual construction. There's enough slight of hand possible to hold of the bust for a while. Well... There was before tariffs.
People have been predicting the edge of the bubble for almost a year at this point, since the week after GPT 3.5 came out. Been wrong 100% so far.
People are shitting bricks after that AI study from MIT saying 95% of AI projects fail.
I would wager 90% of AI initiatives are asinine wastes of resources pushed by people who do not understand them though.
Sure, but 95% of new businesses fail as well. Sunk costs are a thing, and people are planning around the savings of layoffs and letting LLMs do it all. AI projects can fail, that's also a learning curve. In some cases companies will wait in hopes of AI rising to meet their needs in a year.
