A prediction by a San Francisco tech guy caught my attention recently. He broadly said:
AI creates a new class divide: those who know how to orchestrate agents vs those who get orchestrated by them. Middle managers don’t disappear, they become agent supervisors. This starts in tech jobs and moves beyond that.
We’re at Peak AI
Let me explain.
What I mean by peak AI: the bubble is artificially inflated, driven by institutional players and financial instruments. Just like the dot com bubble, or the 2008 financial crisis, or the 2020 pandemic. We’re already living in what looks like the much hyped Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This is it.
AI makes things easy, sure, but it shouldn’t be made into God. In the end, it’s prediction tech. Period.
I also say that because I see overflowing tangents of AI in cryptocurrency there somewhere as well.
I think we’re at the peak of the AI bubble, just like the memecoin-casino hype-cycle back in December 2024. Which as I am writing this in October 2025, is back again. People never learn.

All the fields and their experts will recognise that using AI as a tool is as necessary as using Google to search. Those who use this tech will cut their work in half and eventually become humans in the loop: supervising, iterating, approving and disapproving decisions made by AI agents.
I’ve been messing about with AI use cases for the past couple of months. Since the day ChatGPT launched publicly.
