Fascinating question!
Predicting the exact timing of an "AI bubble" bursting is challenging, as it depends on various factors, including market dynamics, technological advancements, regulatory developments, and public perception. Historically, technology bubbles have been characterized by rapid investment and speculation, followed by a correction when expectations exceed reality.
Currently, AI is experiencing significant interest and investment, driven by advancements in machine learning, natural language processing, and other areas. However, if the technology fails to deliver on its promises, or if there are significant ethical, regulatory, or societal challenges, it could lead to a reevaluation of investments in the sector.
Ultimately, the future of AI will depend on how well the technology continues to evolve and integrate into various industries, as well as how stakeholders address the associated challenges.

I don't think AI will go away completely, but I think it's use will shrink down to just the useful bits. However, I do worry about how AI-produced photographs will seep into our lives, though. Used to be, it was really hard to alter an existing photograph (I'm thinking of a black and white Russian photograph from the 60's that had been retouched to remove one of their cosmonauts from a group shot -- maybe because he defected?). Now the camera phones can do that kind of magic on-the-fly. Scary.

As pointed out by a Redditor, "Video Evidence" has been a thing for just over 100 years of the entire human experience, and photo evidence just over 200 years. It was a source of truth for a blip of an eye, and now they will be used to tell more convincing lies than anyone ever dreamed.

No, he died horribly after a training accident - burning alive in an high oxygen atmosphere - and the Soviets kept it secret till after the cold war and propaganda removed any reference to him.
FWIW: Apollo astronauts had a similar accident years later.
Tho, I don't think there was an attempt to keep it secret.

That would have been near impossible. But NASA and its contractors tried to keep some documents from surfacing that warned of a possibility of an accident like that. Well, they didn't care so much about "the public" as much as they did for what Congress and the House Committee on Appropriations would do to their budget when they found out that NASA played fast and loose with the lifes of their employees.
