Will ChatGPT disappear when the AI bubble bursts?

ChatGPT will not disappear - but will become more expensive, invisible and indispensable

The discussion about a possible "AI bubble" is gathering pace. But what happens when the ratings collapse and the hype dies down - will ChatGPT be gone too?

The clear answer from Clever Mangos, a Hamburg-based provider specializing in AI training: No. But it will be uncomfortable for companies if they focus on the wrong things today.

"After the dotcom bubble, the internet didn't go away - it grew up," says Florian Knust, co-founder of Clever Mangos. "That's exactly what we're seeing now with AI: less playground, more business. ChatGPT isn't disappearing, it's just moving - into the infrastructure and the pricing model."

Three changes that companies need to prepare for

According to Clever Mangos, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular need to prepare for three specific shifts:

Free experiments are coming to an end
Many AI tools have so far been made big via freemium or heavily subsidized models. "This phase is coming to an end. We expect cost-covering, often significantly higher prices - especially for high-performance models," says Knust.

Standalone AI tools are disappearing
What still comes as a separate AI tool today will be a function in Office, CRM or ERP tomorrow. "AI no longer comes _on top_, but from Word, Excel & Co. directly from everyday life. This is convenient - but also dangerous for anyone who blindly becomes dependent on a tool," warns Knust.

ChatGPT becomes an invisible infrastructure
AI models will run in the background, integrated into software, processes and interfaces. "Like Wi-Fi: no one talks about it anymore, everyone uses it. The hype disappears, the dependency increases," says Knus.

The real bottleneck: skills, not software

For Clever Mangos, the core mistake made by many companies is to view AI primarily as a tool issue - and not as a skills issue.

"The wrong question is: _Is a fix coming?_ The right question is: _What am I building today that will still make sense after the AI bubble?" says Knust.
"The competitive advantage will not lie in the tool - everyone has the same models. The difference lies in what teams do with it: in processes, prompts, data and the courage to really change things."

Clever Mangos has observed in many projects that SMEs are curious about AI, but often fail in the same places:

* no internal know-how,
* Unsystematic experimentation,
* fear of data protection and compliance issues.

"Anyone who only looks at cheap or free tools now is building their house on sand," adds Oliver Bock, co-author of the practical book "ChatGPT - Das Praxisbuch" and co-founder of Clever Mangos. "Those who invest in skills today, on the other hand, will have a head start tomorrow - no matter what the price tags of the models look like."

Offer to editorial offices: Classification instead of hype_

Clever Mangos offers editorial teams the opportunity to classify the topic of the "AI bubble" from a company perspective:

* What is happening to the business models of AI start-ups?
* How is the role of office software changing as a result of integrated AI?
* What strategy should SMEs choose now to avoid falling into expensive dependencies?

The founders and AI experts Florian Knust, Torsten Sollitzer and Oliver Bock will be available for interviews, background discussions and practical examples from SME projects.
