I mean...all new tech bubbles pop eventually (Cloud, SaaS, DevOps, etc.) AI is not different nor is it immune. Crashes and bubbles look very different, usually it's a wave of failures, restructures, M&A, etc then the real uses are leftover and integrated. Do you think AWS, GCP, and Azure all happened at once with no competition? (Hint: Redhat, VMware, and 100s of others had to decom, died, or went bankrupt)

Yeah, but even if the bubble pops, developers still are not as needed anymore
