This is a long term good thing.

It sucks right now and will probably suck through 2027.

By 2028 or so we'll have a 50% drop in price-per-storage for these components.

Will the AI bubble last until 2028? I’m still unclear how AI will return even 10% of this investment in profit.

Depending on the future you predict 10% may be a good ROI - if AI will replace humans and traditional economy will collapse all other investments will loos value even more. In such scenario you cannot save the money you only can loose less if you will make a right investment.

No I'm predicting a 90%+ loss.
