No qualifying author-owned investment thesis was confirmed in this post.
Actionable sector-level argument with a causal mechanism (AI hype diverting spending/attention from traditional software), but no specific asset or ticker is named.

Everyone keeps saying AI is a bubble, overhyped and maybe even temporary
So why is the market punishing software stocks over a bubble?
Here’s the thing AI isn’t replacing software. It runs on software. Companies still need tools, platforms, and systems to operate every day
The risk for software stocks isn’t that they’re going away, it’s that AI hype creates uncertainty and changes the narrative about where growth and money are going
Investors start asking questions Will companies pause traditional software spending to explore AI solutions
Will hot new AI startups steal attention from established players
Could hype and valuations shift capital away from regular software growth
Software itself isn’t disappearing, but hype alone is enough to make the market rethink who gets valued and how
Honestly, the US stock market doesn’t feel as stable as it used to. Volatility feels similar to crypto, with a lot of noise, hype, and manipulation.
