Ask HN: When will the AI bubble burst?

May 04, 2024 - news.ycombinator.com
The markdown data revolves around a discussion on the potential bursting of the AI bubble. Some participants predict that the AI bubble will burst this year due to world events affecting all markets, while others believe that the AI bubble is more of a reflection of capital movement than technological promise. They also discuss the utility of LLMs, stating that they are a significant advantage and will be used for a long time.

Some participants suggest that the AI bubble will burst when people tire of repeating "AI is the future," or when new technology like an iPhone with integrated ChatGPT-style is released. Others argue that AI is not a bubble but a continuation of a technology trend. They believe that even if the AI bubble bursts, it might be followed by another AI bubble in the future. There's no contradiction between "technology trend" and periodic bubbles, and those who lose money along the way may console themselves with thinking about technology trends.

Key takeaways:

  • The AI bubble is predicted to burst this year due to world events affecting all markets.
  • LLMs are seen as beneficial and will continue to be used despite the potential burst of the AI bubble.
  • Some believe the AI bubble will burst when companies like Apple integrate AI technologies like ChatGPT into their products and people tire of hearing "AI is the future".
  • Others argue that AI is not a bubble, but a continuation of a technology trend, and any perceived "bubble" is more a reflection of capital movement than technological promise.
