A bubble with an unknown underlying value

Theo says AI is in a bubble but does not know where its underlying value falls between NFTs and the internet. He distinguishes the dot-com bubble from the value of the internet itself.

Do I think we're in an AI bubble? Yes, we are, and I won't pretend otherwise. The issue is that we don't yet know how big the actual underlying value is.

At one end of the spectrum there are things like NFTs; at the far other end there's the internet itself. The internet still had a bubble burst, which I associate with a smaller part of it: domains and reselling URLs as though they were immensely valuable. The dot-com bubble was real, but the internet was not a bubble. I don't know yet where AI falls on that spectrum.
