The dotcom bubble was a bunch of Silicon Valley types buying fancy domain names and getting showered in money before they even released anything remotely useful.

AI companies are releasing useful things right this second, even if they still require human oversight, they are also able to significantly accelerate many tasks.

The AI bubble involves a lot of that, too.

So were the Googles and other leading firms in the dotcom bubble era, and if you said the dotcom bubble wasn’t a bubble because of that, you’d obviously have been wrong.
