The Risk of an AI Bubble and Overspending

The podcast discusses the potential risks of overspending and the formation of an AI bubble in the business-facing AI industry. The concern is that companies might feel pressured to spend heavily on AI services, either as buyers or sellers, without considering the actual profitability or long-term viability of these investments.
