Not quite the same. The tulip industry was making money hand over foot. It was the speculators that ended up being shafted. Tulip mania was more comparable to the beanie babies craze, or even NFTs. AI companies, on the whole, are making no profit at all.
It makes more sense if you position Ai companies as the speculators and chip makers as the actual tulip producers.
It would if all the the chip makers weren’t making chips on credit from a broke ass industry. Though they’ll likely get paid with a bailout including interest, so… they will probably still make out alright regardless
