Will the AI bubble burst? The AI hype train is running full steam ahead, but the tracks might end sooner than you think. After 25 years in software development, I've lived through enough tech bubbles to spot the warning signs - and they're flashing red right now. Companies are pouring billions into AI capabilities they can't actually deliver. The gap between promises and reality grows wider every day. Remember how the internet bubble burst in 2000 and the crypto bubble popped in 2022? The AI bubble might be next. Look at Apple - the most valuable company on earth with unlimited resources - they just delayed their AI features indefinitely because they couldn't make them work reliably. If Apple can't make AI deliver, what chance do the startups with a fraction of their resources have? I'm seeing troubling signs that the AI bubble might be approaching its bursting point. The technology is impressive - no doubt about that - but there's a growing chasm between what's being promised to investors and what's actually possible with today's technology. Let me break down the key problems I'm seeing. Despite these challenges, AI still has tremendous potential if expectations are reset to match technological realities. The bubble bursting might actually be healthy for the industry - clearing out the hype and allowing focus on applications that genuinely work today. After 25 years in technology, I've seen how the most valuable innovations often emerge after the hype cycle crashes and realistic expectations take hold. Companies that survive the coming correction will be those focused on narrow, specific AI applications with clear ROI rather than promises of artificial general intelligence. The winners won't be the companies promising the moon, but those delivering reliable solutions to specific problems with measurable business value. When the AI bubble does burst, it won't be the end of AI - just the end of unsustainable hype and the beginning of a more mature, realistic industry.
