Not so much AI itself, but the billions invested into it and the hardware required - anything you invest billions into but that doesn't have similar return on investment is a fast track to an economic crash / correction. The Y2K tech companies are a previous example, investors were champing at the bit to invest in uh, pets.com or whatever but turns out it didn't / wouldn't earn enough money to earn it back.


I agree with the economic argument.

But I literally mean if you have a crappy business and put AI into it you’re just gonna make your business worse.

AI as a tool is not actually a solution for very much. AI can mark a good process better but it will also make bad processes way worse.

It’s a power drill upgrade when you were previously only using a screwdriver, but it’s still not a table saw.
