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'm guessing there will be many un- and under-utilised data centres.

I would argue that cloud computing is a viable model, and it would be comparatively easy to flip an AI data center for other uses.
