Yeah, the OP's comment is weird: it's because what these types call "AI" not actually working properly in most environments (mainly because it makes critical, even deadly, mistakes with far, far higher frequency than even untrained humans) so adopters of the Technology are already suffering losses due to it and having to rollback their deployments of the "AI", that the bubble will blow causing an US economy collapse because of how much Market valuation is tied up to the AI bubble and the massive misallocation of resources and investments linked to it (a local economic collapse which might or not spread to become "world economy collapse").
An economic crash caused by the latest insanelly overhyped Tech grift turning out to not work at all at lowering costs for the adopters of that technology (quite the contrary) isn't an opportunity to sell more of that very insanelly overhyped technology.
I would expect that, like last time around, the way the capital rich will benefit from an economic collapse is because they'll be able to buy Assets on the cheap, whose values will then be propped up by Governments just like last time around (part of the reason why both realestate and stock markets quickly got back to beating records after the last world economic collapse)
