| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividend Cafe, weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio |
| 0:06.5 | and dividends in your understanding of economic life. |
| 0:11.6 | Hello and welcome to this week's Dividend Cafe. I am your host, David Bonson. I am very excited |
| 0:17.9 | to be talking to you this week about a story that no one has been talking about all year, and that is AI, this thing that no one is mentioned in the investing world for quite some time. |
| 0:29.0 | But it's sort of a big secret, and I'm going to crack the code on it here today. |
| 0:34.0 | Of course, I say this in jest because it has been one of the biggest topics discussed, |
| 0:40.3 | not only across the culture, but particularly in investment markets this year and last year, |
| 0:46.3 | and really since late 2022, when this little thing called ChatGPT sort of hit the airwaves, if you will. |
| 0:56.0 | And we have been living in a time that I think is profoundly important for investors. |
| 1:02.0 | Now, if I were doing a Dividing Cafe today where I just basically wanted to unpack some of the noise, |
| 1:08.5 | I've first of all done that before, it also is, I think, a little bit less exciting of the noise. I've first of all done that before. |

| 1:30.9 | I want to make the case to you all that this AI story is a bubble, that there is a bubble going on that is going to do great damage to certain investors and that at the same time, I do not mean by that what I think a lot of people might |
| 1:38.4 | mean. I'm not suggesting a systemic market collapse. I am not suggesting a particular time or season to exit. |
| 1:47.0 | I am not suggesting that AI will prove to be a dud of a technological innovation. |
| 1:56.0 | I believe it is entirely consistent and, in fact, more cogent to understand the legitimacy of artificial |
| 2:03.0 | intelligence, the opportunity that exists in AI as it unfolds in a more monetizable way to |
| 2:10.6 | real-life businesses in the future than is available now. |
| 2:15.1 | And at the same time, understand that when you get into a moment where |
| 2:21.1 | euphoria is driving investor returns and expectations, that there becomes a moment in which it is |
