The fact is that a lot of people think AI is overvalued to the point there's no way it can deliver on the hype, so (if they're right) there necessarily must come a crash that brings sentiment down to the same level with objective reality. There's a lot of hype surrounding AI, so there's many different ways to defend the idea that it's overhyped, the same way that if you ask ten different people what is most wrong with the country, you'll get ten different answers.

>- Are we really in for a crash?

The question you should really be asking is, is AI really overvalued, or is it so useful it justifies all the hype that surrounds it? If the former, then yes, a crash is inevitable, because we don't live in the land of make-believe. If a crash never happens then AI was not overvalued, it was valued appropriately.
