I asked ChatGPT:
Bottom line:
Yes, in the last 48 hours there are clear signs of stress across AI-linked stocks, rising skepticism, and valuation readjustment — which feels bubble-ish. But no, there’s not yet decisive evidence that the entire AI boom is bursting. It’s more like a market correction and repricing, with risk shifting from hype toward real earnings and competition.

If you want, I can break this down by specific companies, sectors (chips vs. software vs. services), or what this might mean for investing or the broader economy.

Bubble-ish….like ChatGPT is a 45 yo guy from Brooklyn.

And then it requested access to my microphone.

Maybe the day will come when it doesn’t ask.

Yes. Any suggestions on privacy protection and basic system security.
