I really hope the AI bubble bursts sooner rather than later. Sooner will impact the broad economy less severely (although it'll still be pretty bad) and curtail these supply chain shortages. If the bubble keeps inflating, the storage makers will have already mostly built out excess capacity and the crash will lead to even longer-term supply distortion.
I think it's still going to be a while. Go talk to anyone who isn't really tech savvy and you still hear all the same hype, now more than ever. None of them can tell you how they've actually used it to create much, if any value, but they still think it's the second coming of Christ.
I disagree, I think there's a huge bubble but I know at least 4 people using LLMs daily who are not techies, and I know what they use it for and it's valuable.
But none of them is paying for it.
