Anecdotal, but I’ve talked to some physicists working in the field of quantum computing, and some of them think that it’s possible that advancements in AI will provide somewhat efficient solutions to some computational problems (namely in the NP class), and the solutions will be “good enough” for actual businesses (e.g. in logistics) and researchers (e.g. in chemistry), to a degree that it might negatively affect future funding for quantum computing research. And the pace of advancement in AI will continue to accelerate, while the pace of advancements in quantum computing is notoriously slow.
