What will the next bubble be? - Lemmy.World

It can be tech-related or not. So far we’ve had the .com bubble, Bitcoin bubble, NFT bubble and now AI (probably) bubble. What do you think the next bubble will be?

I predict (from my unlimited wisdom):

Personal Avatars.

Since the chat messaging apps must become interoperable now, people will create their virtual “self” across different platforms.

I would say probably more likely to be a personal AI assistant, that handles all PC/cell phone interactions for you. Like Star Trek: “Computer, do my taxes!”

Of course that relies heavily on AI becoming more reliable then it is now.

No one wants an AI summery of their e-mails if it’s full of hallucinations, or their tax returns to get them into prison.

I think it needs a few more years before they are good enough to be used by the masses.
