OpenAI launches Sora 2, calls it the future of video… and within 30 days, retention drops to 1 percent. At the same time, Microsoft reports strong earnings, beats revenue expectations at 81 billion dollars, and still loses 360 billion dollars in market cap in a single day. Why? Because capital spending jumped 66 percent, with tens of billions flowing straight into AI chips. Nvidia walks back massive OpenAI investment plans. Oracle announces a 50 billion dollar AI push and its stock falls. OpenAI reportedly projects negative 143 billion dollars in cash flow before turning profitable. Even politicians on both sides signal there will be no bailout if things go wrong. Search interest in AI has peaked. Products like. Sora and Suno exploded at launch, then lost nearly all their users. The hype cycle is real. Tourists show up, generate a few images or videos, then leave. Meanwhile, only about 3 percent of Microsoft’s 365 users pay for Copilot. CEOs say they see little measurable return. With hundreds of billions invested, AI cannot survive as a niche toy. So what is this? A bubble bursting, or the painful shift from inflated expectations to practical use? The future of AI may not be world domination. It may be quiet productivity inside tools we already use.
