I thought the AI bubble bursting would be a good thing.

Not for the economies of the world, I'd expect nothing less than worse recession than 2008-10 and if not on par then bordering the great depression. Iran has already massively fucked things up. 20% of the world's oil stopped for that long and 30% of fertiliser. Heck, if the bubble doesn't burst we're still fairly fucked. We are in a bit of a lull because of government interventions but that pain is coming back around real soon. If the bubble burst now it would be the worst global disaster since WW2. It's a gigantic bubble not seen at its size before. 

How is it vital for the economy? It's stealing jobs from people who desperately need employment to survive, like artists, writers, animators and coders, that's a shitload of people, many of whom can't find other work because they never trained for other jobs.
