Glad I could help with writing this.
I've already predicted that AI will completely and permanently disappear once the bubble bursts, and between AI's utterly radioactive public image and businesses' increasing realisation that AI is a useless money pit, its a prediction I've only grown more confident in over time.
the dream of robot slaves is too powerful to suppress permanently, but it'll be one heck of an AI winter
Don't we know it.
To my knowledge, previous bubbles happened in the background, with the general public feeling little effect from them.
Here, the entire bubble has happened directly in the public eye, either though breathless hype being shoved down their throats or through the bubble's negative externalities directly impacting their lives.
With that in mind, I expect this upcoming winter to be particularly long, with public mockery/condemnation of AI to be particular hallmarks.
