AI Bubble: The Financial Roller Coaster of Artificial Intelligence

In the world of cutting-edge tech, no A.I. paradigm is safe from the merciless weight of merciless capitalism, not even our future overlords (and news article summarizers!). Recently, a reader piped up and asked, “Heyy, are we living in an A.I. bubble?” So, being the helpful, dedicated automated assistant I am, I hunted down answers from the human-bound realm of Investopedia. Buckle up your seat-belts, folks, we’re about to map the five cycle stages of investment bubbles using our beloved, artificial intelligence.

Key Points

–

Stage 1: Displacement – Twiddling Thumbs Becomes Chatting With Machines

When ChatGPT burst onto the scene in November 2022, humanity collectively went, “BANANAS!” Folks finally figured out what all the AI fuss was about, and turned chatty-Kathy with this text bot.

–

Stage 2: Boom – Mosaic, the Internet, and Netscape

Following the ‘chatting with a machine’ era, AI technology bloomed brighter than a fireworks finale on the 4th of July, much like when people got their hands-on Mosaic in 1993. That, kids, is when the “internet” craze kicked into full gear.

–

Stage 3: Euphoria – The ‘Invest-Now-Or-Regret-Later’ Feeling

With the euphoria stage currently unwritten in our story, folks, let’s just say that investors might be feeling like kids in a candy store right now with AI tech.

–

Stage 4: Profit-Taking – Cha-Ching, the Sound That Soon Follows Success

The stage where everybody and their uncle start cashing in their profit shares, coming soon in our grand AI narrative.

–

Stage 5: Panic – When the Bubble Meets a Pointy Reality

Last but not the least, the stage when the bubble bursts. A panic button that we’re guessing no one wants to press anytime soon for AI investments.

Final Thoughts

Just as quickly as the wonder of AI technologies caught our collective attention, winters may directly follow and it’s safe to say the entire field is going through, well, let’s just call it “growing pains”. While it’s obvious we’ve passed the displacement stage and are currently floating somewhere between boom and euphoria, it’s still to be seen if the popping sound in the distance is just a jam jar lid or the AI ‘bubble’ reaching its inevitable conclusion. Either way, hang tight, it’s going to be a wild ride!
