The AI bubble isn't bursting. We're already the demand.
Everyone keeps comparing AI to the dot com bubble while using it every day.
I throw stupid questions at it, write emails, summarize stuff I don't want to read, code. For markets, I usually just skim the weekly brief on moomoo AI instead of digging through a bunch of articles. At this point I probably use some form of AI every day, and most people I know do too.
That's just retail. Companies are plugging it into support, coding, data work, sales, marketing, basically every workflow where people stare at screens and move information around.
What happens when the free tiers get worse and the tools people actually want cost $20–30 a month?
You can refuse to pay, sure. But when everyone around you is researching, writing and getting work done faster, suddenly $20 doesn't feel that expensive.
