We decided back during the 1930s that it explicitly isn't how the market should work, because having the entire economy crash (which is what the AI bubble bursting would mean at this point) is a bad thing for most people. This is why America - and indeed any country except perhaps Somalia - doesn't have a free market, but a regulated market.
