The Man Who Calls BS on AI: They’re Lying About AI, 2027 Is When it All Breaks! - Ed Zitron (Viedo)
In this 27 August 2026 published video, host Steven Bartlett talks with tech critic Ed Zitron who exposes the AI bubble, why OpenAI and Anthropic are burning billions, the fake AI boom, and why the crash could wipe out the entire economy! Zitron argues that the generative AI industry is an economically unsustainable bubble that will face a catastrophic collapse by 2027. He contends that AI companies are burning billions on unachievable revenue targets and building an unsustainable debt bomb.
Zitron is a British AI critic and one of the most cited voices warning that the AI industry is one giant bubble. He hosts the ‘Better Offline’ podcast, reaching over a million monthly downloads, and writes the newsletter ‘Where’s Your Ed At’. He is the founder and CEO of the primary research firm EZPR, and is currently writing his upcoming book, ‘The Hater’s Guide To Silicon Valley’ (out Q2 2027).
He explains:
■ Why he believes generative AI is a “con”
■ The real reason OpenAI and Anthropic can’t turn a profit
■ Why data centers could leave a $500 billion debt bomb
■ Why superintelligence is a myth sold by tech billionaires
■ Why AI won’t take your job, no matter what CEOs promise
