Eh, I'd change the analogy.

AI is a bubble in the sense there isn't a direct path of put more money into research and get a better result. I'd almost argue we are spending money in the wrong areas.

The internet had clear and well defined steps for improvement. Although we can increase accuracy or whatever by 1-2% that doesn't define definitive steps toward AGI.

Humanity is spending money in a lot of different areas, and we're seeing both theoretical and functional progress. The progress in applications is already destabilizing a lot of industries in just the last year, how much faster should we progress?
