Only if you panic-sold.

In investing gains and losses are only realized when you sell a security, and over time, just buying and holding has been all the strategy most people have needed thanks to the market's consistent growth.

The downside is that anyone invested in a 401k probably has shares in a mutual fund that will be negatively impacted when the AI Bubble pops. It will be interesting to see what happens in the short-term, though, especially if (and almost certainly when) Donald loses total congressional control.
