The AI bubble could burst without killing ChatGPT
If the AI bubble bursts, what actually happens to ChatGPT? Here are 5 things we’d expect.
Warnings about an impending AI bubble burst are becoming harder to dismiss. Investors have poured tremendous funds into AI companies in the belief that the technology will eventually generate substantial returns, but questions are emerging over whether those returns will arrive quickly enough (or at all). OpenAI, the creator of the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, projects nearly $280 billion in negative free cash flow through 2030, highlighting the disconnect between investment and current technology earnings.
If investor confidence wanes, funding could dry up, forcing AI companies to spend much less. However, this doesn't mean AI will vanish. The fundamental problem is how AI is funded and its availability to users. With less money available, AI services may change dramatically, forcing users to adapt.
