That bubble also funds giant amounts of commercial disinformation around ai, which is doing a lot of damage. You simply do not want such error-prone systems manage patient health data and such.

The subprime mortgages bubble didn't make mortgages disappear, but it forced stricter regulation of mortgages. And lack of regulation is a major problem with current commercialized AI. In fact, so far the companies have been lobbying very hard against regulation.

Furthermore, propping up the AI bubble is also screwing up the economy. Some of us would just like to see the bandaid ripped off before more long term damage is done.

Finally, put yourself in the position of a Gen Alpha entering the job market. You can't find an entry level white cost job because companies think they can replace you with AI. Someone in that position sees no benefit from continuing to prop up the bubble. If the bubble bursts, at worst they're still in the same situation, at best the job market opens up again.

The longer it inflates the more painful the pop. Better to get it over with even though it will be painful. Not continuing to build data centers powered by fossil fuel would be a big benefit too.

It's just a betting game. Some will win, most will lose. Sad thing is that most people who lose never opted in to participate in the game.
