The article argues that calling AI a "bubble" misunderstands what a bubble truly means, emphasizing that a bubble involves a false belief destined to burst and collapse entirely. It distinguishes between early overhyped AI investment failures and the broader transformative potential of AI that many believe will persist.

Why it matters: Mislabeling AI as a bubble can obscure important discussions about its real economic and societal impact.

The big picture: Unlike the dot-com bubble’s false belief, the foundational AI revolution is not a guaranteed-to-pop falsehood.

The stakes: Confusing hype with a bubble risks misjudging AI’s potential to reshape work and the economy over the next decade.

Commenters say: Many acknowledge early investment excesses but argue AI still faces a correction phase; some warn of vested interests skewing the debate.
