    Probably feels exactly the same way because it is. I wasn’t around for the dotcom bubble but I know that these companies don’t have a leg to stand on. The hardware for training AI is way too expensive (not to mention the “need” to replace the hardware every generation at insane markups) for these mundane use cases right now. Either they figure out how to more efficiently use the hardware asap or they go bust once the general public catches on and the stonks tank. There are a few cases of useful AI, those will survive, but the vast majority of AI products (like the chatbots) will vanish.
