OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just admitted to what the rest of the AI industry won't: that the entire thing could be a big, fat bubble, ready to burst.

Though it's a fiercely debated topic — with many experts saying the writing's on the wall — the OpenAI CEO was unwavering in his conviction.

"When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth," Altman told a small group of reporters on Thursday, as quoted by The Verge. "Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes."
