Yep. It's obviously a bubble, but one that won't pop from just this, the motive is replacing millions of employees with automation, and the bubble will pop when it's clear that won't happen, or when the technology is mature enough that we stop expecting rapid improvement in capabilities.
I love the fact that the same executives who obsess over return to office because WFH ruins their socialization and sexual harassment opportunities think think they're going to be able to replace all their employees with AI. My brother in Christ. You have already made it clear that you care more about work being your own social club than you do actual output or profitability. You are NOT going to embrace AI. You can't force an AI to have sex with you in exchange for keeping its job, and that's the only trick you know!
