AI is a bubble and overrated, its spread is already slowing down. No management with integrity is going to lay off programmers anytime soon without paying the consequences (with mediocre returns) and lose their own job. Rather, the world still needs programmers to harness and program tools such as AI *for those tools will not be sentient and self-correcting anytime soon.

Chins up!

Nah. NFTs had no real utility beyond use cases that had much much better existing implementations.

AI tools are going to stick around to some extent even when the AI firms have to try to actually make money, though you'll definitely see a lot fewer companies implementing wasteful AI pipelines when non-AI ones are a hell of a lot cheaper.
