Ask HN: Is the rise of AI tools going to be the next 'dot com' bust?

7•Dicey84•1h ago
For context, attended an Australian based tech expo / conference recently and whilst at the show (I’m sure there were marginally more) only two exhibitors didn’t have the term AI or Agent in there pitch or stand marketing..

And for reference, the two companies that stood out for non-AI capabilities made monitor stands.

This got me dwelling back into the post title, is this influx of AI tools going to be sustainable, or is there going to be an impending crash leaving only the ‘best and brightest’ on the other side?

Yes.

Maybe someone should make AI-infused monitor stands.

With AI, the question isn’t if there’s going to be a bubble… it’s which startups will still be alive when it bursts. Good luck with that.
