Once a favorite of Wall Street, software stocks have been sliding lately, with investors increasingly concerned about how the sector could be upended by their newest crush: artificial-intelligence companies.

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Artificial Intelligence was a great technological revolution that will drive everything and change the world, sounding bullish on the sweeping technological changes AI was sparking.

Some are pocketing anywhere from $5,000 to $60,000 per month through newsletters, masterclasses and sponsored content, as well as their own marketing agencies. Platforms like X and LinkedIn have become the go-to arenas for this AI gold rush. The booming space is beating traditional tech jobs by a mile.
