So... Not even as good an argument as I gave you credit for. Okay.You've reduced your argument to nothing. AI is nothing like a pocket calculator. See the environmental impacts of AI datacentre, the economic impact of hording GPUs, and the impact of the inevitable bursting of the AI bubble.
If there was a calculator bubble, history does not remember it on the same scale as tulips, railways, dot-coms or sub-primes.
