> literally everybody

I personally make sure I really diversify, so that when I buy funds, I buy those with stocks of EU companies which pay dividends. AFAICT there are 0 European AI companies that pay dividends.

There are zero US pure-play AI companies which pay dividends, right?

You have to go pretty far down the list of holdings (under "Holding details") to find any big bets on AI:

For tax reasons most companies are avoiding paying dividends. It still happens but it's not nearly as common and companies are trying to get away from it because for many investors it is better not to have dividends paid.
