The instructive part about the comparison is that believing "AI is a bubble" doesn't mean saying that AI is worthless. After all, after the dot-com bubble burst the internet still existed and continued to transform the whole world.

The irony of using Claude to write this is almost to much to "hold". (Claude loves to tell you to hold things in its writing).

Here's another great Claudism: "The replies had a different read. One of them, in full: {embedded tweet}" lol. Who writes like that? "In full"? You're promising me you didn't fake the embedded tweet or something?

Also this one: "So here’s my first hypothesis, stated so you can hold me to it."

Sentence is utterly redundant, and it reads like Claude first wrote it with a colon and you edited it to be a comma to read less like AI. I think you should've just removed it entirely.

> My argument, Claude’s sentences. It won some of the arguments along the way. The mistakes are still mine.

Everybody was already lazy. Now they have a means of demonstrating it.

Was dot com a bubble?

If you could transport yourself to the late 90s, would you try to convince people that the internet's impact on the economy would be no greater than that of the fax machine by 2005.

Or was it just some companies were overvalued?

No, AI isn’t like the dot-com bubble and it’s short sighted that people keep trying to compare it.

The dot-com bubble had investment before mass adoption. AI has mass adoption, there are many industries where usage of AI is now expected. They have similarities, but claiming they are the same is so fucking stupid.
