The Internet had over investment and a crash in 2000. Game consoles, and home computers before that. Decades ago when I was looking into more office space for my ISP, the real estate agent talked about how the Internet was the latest bubble in a long chain of tech bubbles he had seen. He talked about the minicomputer bubble from the late 1960’s.
Even in the sub market of AI there have been hypes and crashes like neural nets from 30 years ago. Today voice recognition and image to text is in everything yet no one complains, “Why is AI shoe horned into my camera app?” It’s because it is no longer seen as AI, but a feature.
