>This looks like it has all the makings of another WeWork, only this time with an epochal AI winter as the aftermath.
I'm as cynical as it gets on this forum, as evidenced by my comment history.
But you're comparing these AI companies to WeWork? Really?
WeWork was a real estate company operating in a historically favourable environment (0% interest rates) pretending to be a tech company. They literally rented office space. What do they have in common?
I notice there's a new generation of "grey beard" programmers constantly talking about how "useless" AI is for programming, and they can do everything faster. Meanwhile, there are tons of us out there who are paying $20, $30, $50 per month and upwards for these tool as they are, and wouldn't want to go without. Ever. And we have no idea where it's going to go. Maybe you're missing something?
