I can't wait until OpenAI, NVIDIA and Microsoft all go belly up.

The compute will find a use case; if the AI bubble bursts I'm sure all the excess capacity will be rerouted to crypto again. But also, there's still plenty of usage in chatbots or image / video generation, I'm not convinced that will just stop.
A scourge? I get some kind of valuable use from it almost every day. This criticism sounds completely out of touch.
