The dot com bubble didn’t mean the world wide web wasn’t here to stay. There is an AI bubble.

The “worthless middleman” provides images immediately at a much lower cost then hiring a photographer and a helicopter in another country.

It’s exactly what we were warned about in books like 1984 and animal farm. The media controls thoughts, who controls the media?
