The AI boom started last year, it's the reason prices are already high. So I'm skeptical that they are going to get higher, seeing as this whole AI thing feels like a bubble.

People are skeptical about AI, but companies seem to be less so.

They see an opportunity to save money and they’re gonna go for it, with the ship steered by shareholders who like the “AI” buzzword.

Maybe it won’t have any effect on GPU prices though. Crypto was a much more accessible market for anyone who wanted to have a go at it, whereas you do need to actually have an idea to make use of AI.
