What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now? (lemmy.world)

It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

I totally agree...the best solution for the specific problem. "Cloud" was the buzzword solution to every problem for a few years and it wasn't great in a lot of cases. High I/O home grown apps to be used from a single campus don't need to be in the cloud. Bulk archive storage doesn't need to be in the cloud, things like lecture recordings from 10+ years.
