Yeah but this AI wave has nothing to do how we came to AI winter in the 70s or 80s.
The necessary amount of Compute, interconnect (internet), money, researcher etc. wasn't available at that time.
and we did not invest the most amount of money and compute and brain power as we are doing right now. This is unseen.
Ah, the youth...
"The new economy" also didn't have anything to do with the previous one. Turns out that it crashed just as well.
