Is AI the future — or are we watching the hype start to crack?


In this episode of Real Ones and Robots, Casey and Jay unpack the real costs behind the AI boom: the electricity and water needed to run massive data centres, the companies laying people off and then realizing they still need human judgment, the stock market anxiety around an “AI bubble,” and Canada’s new AI strategy under Prime Minister Mark Carney.


The conversation asks a simple question with no simple answer: is AI busting, or is it just getting real?
