Basically the title. I don’t know when it will happen, but AI is a bubble that has to pop when people realize that the singularity is not possible with generative AI, and the minimal usefulness doesn’t warrant trillion dollar investments.

What are the options to bet against AI hype without betting against actual useful technologies?

    Don’t underestimate the amount of money that investors can continue to dump into AI. I agree that there’s a bubble and that it will pop some day, but I personally wouldn’t bet against AI. It has zealous investors just like GME and AMC who make irrational decisions.

    If you want a safer alternative to short-selling, you can buy puts on companies you think will take a hit when the bubble bursts, e g. NVDA. The amount you can lose is limited to what you buy the put for, with the downside that a put has an expiration date. You can buy puts that expire anywhere from days to about two years.
