What bubble? If anything it's 10x too small for the value it'll provide over the next century.

The same exact premise was proclaimed about the Internet circa 1999-2003 (boom and bust). Then the entire global economy and nearly all electronic communication was rebuilt on top of the Internet.

For the coming century AI is more important than the Internet.

> the value it'll provide over the next century.

The parent mentioned inequality and energy transition. But LLMs seem to be about crud apps and influence campaigns.

There's more to value than just quantity. Quantity of what?

That's a bold claim. Which AI? The current LLMs? Something else as yet undiscovered? It's not clear that "it's 10x too small for the value it'll provide over the next century" - there's no way to know that - the statement is an article of faith.
