Everyone’s acting like AI is the second coming of the internet, but have we learned nothing from the dot-com crash? I mean, sure, AI has real potential, just like the internet did back in the '90s. The technology itself isn’t the problem. The problem is the mass hallucination that everything AI touches turns to gold. It doesn't. Most of this stuff is smoke and mirrors, bolted onto flimsy business models and hyped to absurd valuations because a VC got FOMO and a CEO jammed “AI” into their pitch deck at the last second. We're drowning in toxic assets, startups with no revenue, fake demos, AI tools built just to sell AI tools to other people building AI tools. It’s a pyramid scheme built on vibes and GPUs. And don’t even get me started on the idiotic assumption that LLMs can just “replace” human intelligence. You can’t duct tape ChatGPT to a broken company and call it innovation. You’re just pouring sugar into the gas tank. This isn’t to say AI is useless. Far from it. Like the internet, it’s transformative, but only when paired with clear-eyed purpose and grounded use. There's real value in precision medicine, logistics optimization, accessibility tools, all of that. But that’s 10% of the field. The other 90% is vaporware and copy-paste clones burning investor cash while acting like they’re redefining civilization. The crash is coming. It has to. This bubble is thick with hype and hollow on fundamentals. The house of cards isn’t just shaky, it’s built on a wind tunnel of bad incentives, overpromises, and ignorance. When it collapses, it won’t be AI’s death, it’ll be the necessary purge. A radical restructuring. A long-overdue cleansing fire to separate signal from noise. Buckle up.
