Once the AI bubble pops, any new memory fab capacity may well help to drive DRAM prices down to historically low levels. It will serve Micron, Samsung, and Hynix right for their (should be) illegal price fixing cartel. What goes around comes around, fellas.

After reading the Smithsonian Article, I come away thinking that Seales is using conventional machine learning techniques that the article's author has conflated into the buzzword of the day, artificial intelligence. Here's the quote containing the single reference to artificial intelligence in the entire article:

He plans to combine such machine learning and X-ray fluorescence to produce the clearest possible text. In the future, “it’ll all be automated,” he predicts. “Put it in the scanner and it will all just unfurl.”
