What kind of bubble is AI?
There is already a lot of real value in scientific domain-specific models. One such example is weather forecasting. We can suddenly create forecasts with astonishing accuracy on commodity hardware in a matter of seconds, versus several hours with traditional numeric models. This is life-saving.
And it's open source, e.g.: https://github.com/NVlabs/FourCastNet
