Michael Burry says the AI story is just mass addiction with no real substance.
He is short big AI names like PLTR, NVDA and MU plus the semiconductor ETF.
He holds longs in names like LULU, PFE and others outside the AI frenzy.
Hyperscalers spending huge on AI but seeing little return while chip makers are up 200 percent.
Semiconductor valuations at extreme levels like dot-com peak.
AI user spending and pricing power already cracking with token spend down 20 percent.
Hyperscalers understating depreciation costs by billions that will hit earnings soon.
Smart money like Burry sees massive spending without matching profits in the real economy.
This mirrors past bubbles where hype outruns actual value creation.
If the correction hits it could crush AI stocks and drag broader markets while exposing weak fundamentals.
Burry: “The AI narrative is nothing more than mass addiction.”
His longs: MELI, PFE, LULU.
His shorts: PLTR, NVDA, MU.
