Is the market about to crash?

On social media, investing is all the hype but when I open Reddit, I’m not so sure anymore. On one hand, the average S&P500 gains in the last 20 years have been great. On the other hand, if you invested just before the 2008 crash you lost a ton of money and would have only recovered from 2014/2015. So, I know you can’t predict the market and all that stuff about time in the market vs timing the market, but I have two questions: One, what are the signs of a market crash looming; Two, can someone explain to me why everyone thinks there’s an AI bubble and if there is a bubble and it pops do you think it’s a full on 2008 market crash or just the market recalibrating itself?
