AI Hype vs. Reality: Blodget on Software Selloff
7 Mar
Summary
- Former analyst Henry Blodget questions extreme AI market valuations.
- He argues against the notion that software businesses will vanish.
- Blodget highlights significant costs and competition challenges for OpenAI.

A year ago, the prevailing market sentiment viewed AI companies as wildly overvalued, sparking bubble fears. Currently, the dominant idea suggests AI's immense power could render legacy businesses, especially software, obsolete. Henry Blodget, founder of Regenerator, argues against this software doom scenario.
Speaking at the On Air podcast festival on February 25th, Blodget noted that while the market narrative has shifted dramatically, the truth likely lies somewhere in between extreme overvaluation and complete obsolescence. He specifically foresees substantial spending costs and stiff competition posing problems for OpenAI.
