AI is indeed a bubble, pumped up by venture gambling money. AI certainly has uses, but it is currently overhyped. I'm reminded of the dot-com bubble back in 2000.

WATCH: @ocasio-cortez.house.gov calls out Donald Trump’s house of cards economy. 40% of economic growth is from an industry that isn’t even turning a profit.

If this is, in fact, a bubble: No taxpayer-funded bailouts for Big Tech.
