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'd to say that the quality of the hype is completely out of whack. People are expecting the current generation of generative neural networks to do things that they really can't.

The ammount of total excitement is probably actually too low if you group GNNs with AGI, though.
