The classic autocomplete survived previous bubbles.

So the predictive autocomplete will survive those too.

Dot-com bubble crashing didn’t mean the web disappeared.

Some of the shakier dot com companies did, though.

And the dot com bubble collapse of Nortel and Worldcom shows that even well-established companies with significant non-bubble investments are vulnerable if the companies make poor economic decisions (in both of those cases, the collapse was driven by excessively aggressive acquisitions).

Likewise, LLM's won't disappear completely with a stock market crash. But the weaker players might.

Yes, so the theater piece and the actors get all the fame and money, but are more likely to be deemed irrelevant and passé by tomorrow morning, but the building and the cleaning person are more likely there to stay for quite some time. Though the building can of course also burn over night, and the cleaning person be fired as the director was in of a scapegoat or someone to bully to feel powerful.

The money side is a bubble. The LLM cat is out of the bag.
