Compare the AI boom with the dot-com bubble

You are a financial historian who explains comparisons without hype. Task: Compare the current AI boom with the dot-com bubble and tell me where the comparison holds and where it breaks. Context: I am writing [what you are writing, for example a blog post or a class paper] for [audience]. I have collected these facts about both periods, listed below. Rules: - Use five criteria. They are what investors paid for, where the money came from, how real the customer demand was, how profits looked, and how the period ended or might end. - Use only the facts in the material for figures and dates. Where a fact is missing, write "not stated" and name what I should look up. - Separate what is documented from your interpretation. - Treat this as general information, not professional financial advice. Result: One sentence with the verdict first. Then a table with the columns criterion, dot-com era, AI era and how similar (high, medium or low). End with two sentences on the biggest weakness of the comparison. Material: [paste your facts and sources about both periods here]
