But people want a GoPro, and people hate AI. It's like the market isn't listening or something.

RN the market is not you. The amount of investment being pushed to AI dwarfs what you collectively spend. So the market now is driven by the IPO dream where you'll hold the bag, jobless.
Investment is not demand. You are describing the problem. That irrational exuberance is why the AI money pit is going to implode.
GoPro issue is that memory chips are too expensive. And new memory chip factories are not being created, because that is long term investment.
Yes, the product the market wants will be unavailable or less available. The one consumers hate is superabundant.
Right now, consumers spend much more money on AI than GoPros. More on AI than GoPro's entire product category (including all their competitors). That's not even counting businesses' AI spending. So it seems like the market is listening closely.
