Preferably before it takes everyone's jobs.

If it could do that it wouldn't be a bubble.

It will take more jobs than we expect and will still be a bubble

Just because there isn't a need for a $13M AI driven app that gives you ideas on what to eat for dinner doesn't mean there isn't hundreds of world changing applications

Search, writing, illustration, translation, driving, image editing, 3d modelling, 3d animation, physics simulations, coming up with heuristics on np-hard problems quickly like organizing fleets etc, ...

OK but those applications are just empowering existing jobs not replacing them.

There are of course many industries that will be shaken by generative AI and will need to adapt but I think that when the dust settles they'll all be in a better place and a lot of crud will be washed away. Things like web search / SEO / online ads for example have become super-parasitic and need major housecleaning.

It's not gonna pop like crypto. It's gonna pop like the dotcom bubble. There will always be a lot of use for AI
