Is AI a bubble? I think it’s both a bubble and a real shift.

Every few weeks someone asks me if AI is a bubble. My honest answer is that parts of it probably are.

Valuations are high, and many startups are really thin wrappers around someone else’s model. Plenty of companies say “AI-powered” without being able to show what it improved.

But the technology itself is not hype. As a developer, I use AI tools every week, and they save me real time on debugging, drafting, and learning new things.

The dot-com bubble burst, yet the internet still changed everything. The companies built on solid value survived. The ones built on buzzwords didn’t.

So my approach:

Don’t chase the label, solve a real problem
Learn to use the tools well
Be skeptical of any product that can’t say what it actually improves

Bubble or not, skills and real value will outlast the noise.

What do you think: bubble, breakthrough, or both?
