No, the AI boom will falter one way or another. Free open source models will out perform proprietary models by the end of this year. The amount of money that customers will actually pay for AI services is much lower than expected. It really is similar to the dotcom bubble and how briefly people thought domain names were going to be insanely valuable.
They're just bitter that they don't have 3 domain names they never got around to doing anything with.
Mine will pay off one of these decades...(This is sarcasm, and an admission of my own foolishness.)
