How else would you bet against AI if not by shorting?

I mean I have heard of betting sites having bets on some weird stuff, maybe they offer AI bubble bursts by x date, but I doubt it

That's why I asked. Shorting would involve betting the bubble will pop in a specific time frame and has no upper end to what I could lose if the bubble doesn't pop in time. I was asking if there is any other way to bet against them that I didn't know about. Something without that time frame and/or lower risk.

Yes, investing in non AI companies and avoiding indices which include AI. Lower risk/reward, more passive stance. Shorting is higher risk/reward, active stance against it.
