You're describing the effects of data centers, not AI. AI doesn't change the prices on computer components, nor is it in any way a bubble. I think you're describing corporations buying up components for their data centers, which they intend to use for AI, but that isn't attributable to AI itself. It's like saying authors are to blame for trees being cut down to make paper - completely ignoring that books can be digital.
