Look, out of all the BS that's come from the current AI CYOA (bubble, revolution, scam, whatever floats your particular boat), the one thing I'm optimistic for is the absolute glut of memory that'll be available once this cycle wraps up. I'm salivating at the thoughts of finally producing memory in such quantities that we can retire HDDs for bulk storage in all but the edgiest of edge cases; of more solid state tech seeping into consumer and business devices, enabling us to compute locally again instead of leaning on cloud providers for extra storage. Hell, I'd just be happy to see 4TB TLC or QLC SSDs coming in under $100 with endurance ratings that aren't garbage.

C'mon, 60TB SSD NAS for my media collection, or 20TB external SSD for backups. Get that density up and those costs down, already.
