Does any investment exist that is more or less insulated from AI, but still broadly set to grow to at the very least - keep up with inflation (especially since it seems like we are heading into an era of stagflation)?

JUST A GENERAL DISCUSSION - NOT LOOKING FOR PERSONAL/ACTIONABLE FINANCIAL ADVICE

I recently cashed out on my NBIS shares, which grew to gobble up almost 90% of my portfolio. I sold to secure profits (obviously) but also because I truly believe AI, while inherently useful and promising - is definitely a bubble right now and is being overvalued by the market - especially since most corporations themselves either don't know what to do with it or are using it for tasks that have no hope of providing a return on investment for the trillions that have already been sunk into its build out (literally just summarizing articles, or basic research and coding etc).

That being said - Inflation has not been this high since 2023 (3.8%), and there really doesn't seem to be any end in sight with puppet Warsh now at the helm and the tone in the White House - the move seems to be "own assets or be left behind". Add to this that the U.S dollar has lost 30% of its purchasing power since 2020.

If the average consumer wants to keep their money in the market (as is recommended in these times) - what is the move here? Every industry seems to be exposed to AI to some extent - what if the middle class just wants to merely beat inflation at the very least?

What are some safe asset classes/stocks/ETFs to accomplish this?
