Why "AI will collapse" doesn't follow: coding agents prove it's beyond consumer tech
akbirthko · x · 2026-09-03
Responding to an article predicting "AI will collapse to a simpler form," akbirthko argues the GPT Store-era consumer hype has passed and AI is clearly far beyond consumer tech: coding agents exist because language happened to be the prior modality, and the problem "will sort itself out automatically as models become more general." The dot-com bubble analogy may hold for the internet being big, but not for an AI collapse.
