Maybe a better generalization, the last time [bubble] happened, do you still use [bubble]?

Depends on the nature of the bubble, doesn't it?

Indeed. Therefore, the past bubbles most similar to AI are the one around Internet, and the earlier one around electricity.

I'd say crypto is more similar, the internet and telephones and rails and roads and electricity is around connective infrastructure, AI and crypto is around compute. Connective infrastructure is almost always useful, local computed things is harder to motivate hype for because its usefulness isn't as apparent as adding more connectivity.
