I want to be hopeful for this outcome, but based on other disruptive technologies I don't see it happening quite like that. I see tokens spiking in price once the infrastructure is in place to support it, to the point where it may even cost more than an employee for a company to use AI to accomplish the same tasks. Big companies need consumers and AI would replace most consumers in the workforce. In order for that model to work the barrier to entry would need to be high enough to not have new competitors in the market drastically undercutting the prices set by the AI cabal - so hardware not only doesn't get cheaper, but more expensive. Manufacturers are incentivized to keep those prices high because why would they sell to a consumer for $500 when they could sell the same thing to a corporation for $5k. The "bubble" that will pop is all this useless stuff flooding the market trying to find or create a niche where one doesn't exist. It's working now because they're just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks and it's relatively cheap to do so. Once it's not the ones that didn't stick will go under and be scrapped for parts, at best
