Are index funds quietly becoming a concentrated AI bet?

Are index funds quietly becoming a concentrated AI bet?

were supposed to be the safe diversified play but at this point the top holdings are basically the same 7 or 8 AI-heavy names over and over

, , , ,  they dominate the weighting so much that buying the index is kind of just buying Big Tech with extra steps

if AI valuations ever get seriously repriced does the whole "set and forget" strategy hold up the way people think it does?

curious if anyone is actually thinking about this or if most people are just not worried about it

A lot of people are thinking about it now because index funds have become much more top-heavy, and AI mega caps are driving a huge portion of the returns.
