More and more mainstream analysts are identifying the coming AI crash, which is a good indication that it will happen soon.

So, what happens to all the data centers? They are already built but probably very expensive to maintain. Will many of them just be abandoned? Bought up by cloud computing companies? Scammers? Crypto miners? Can they be parted out and sold off piecemeal?

Will they be put to some productive use, or just become massive e-waste sites left to the locals to deal with?

    But we still have CGI movies, we still have coal mining companies, and we still have steel manufacturing companies. AI companies may fail, but the AI industry will continue, which was my point.

    Aye, and there's still slavery too.

    But there's far far far far far far far far far far less of it than before the "too big to fail" bubble burst.

    And what's left of it is niche and specialist, such as Prison.

    That's not full CGI? There's live action in it.

    As in everything in the movie being CGI

    Full CGI where actors perform in front of a green screen and everything is added in later? Like the Star Ward Prequels? That’s Avatar.

    If you want full CGI where nothing is real, then pick any modern day cartoon.
