Its way too expensive. We bail out banks so the little people dont lose their shirts too. There's no equivalent in AI.
you are missing the point, once AI companies goes down it will take down the sp500 too. so their retirement accounts will be affected.

covid crash and what they did in respond to market crash disagrees.
