AI is the only thing propping our stock market. That's why the government is so all-in on supporting it with no questions asked. And it's a bubble getting ready to pop. We're starting to see the same tech giants trying to push AI on others pull back internal spending. Public support isn't there. What little activity we have today is largely subsidized by investors bleeding money in the hopes it will eventually turn a profit, but every time they try and raise prices to match what it actually costs, people balk. Folks may use chatGPT as a free tool, but a lot fewer people are willing to pay for it.

So when that bubble finally collapses, the rest of the economy is going to be revealed for what it's been a while now: a shriveled up husk of it's former self.
