I think the broader tech market can escape the AI crash if it abandons or significantly scales back on its investments in this garbage. If they continue on the road they're on, I can see a tech stock crash on par with the dotcom bubble popping in the early 2000s.
If the tech stocks crash like they did back then, it will cause a lot more damage to the whole economy, though. Tech companies are seen as a whole lot less speculative than they were back then, a lot more "safe" investment money is tied up in companies like Amazon and Google.
Unfortunately, I think these companies are pretty incompetent and desperate to get back that exponential growth. I think it's more likely than not that they'll try to ride AI off the cliff.
