What will it mean for the 'AI' bubble to 'pop'? Will it get Copilot off my work computer? (hexbear.net)

When it pops, will the current pervasive LLM and Gen'AI' slop dry up as their companies go under? Will LLM and agentic chatbots be removed from all the apps that have been shoehorning them into everything? Or will just some companies go under, some stocks lose value and people's 401ks are hollowed out

I could totally see them do something like make copilot run locally in the way Deepseek does but still charge a subscription fee to unlock half the functionality of Windows 12 with it.

This sounds plausible. They'd still need to strike a balance so they can retain some of the data for training, presumably, so it wouldn't be 100% local? Who knows, they may do something similar with paywalled logic models that require online compute, and then hamstring the local only version. We'll see.
