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.

Small modular reactors. You see these being proposed but so far they're not being built.

Most things to do with Green Energy. Don't get me wrong, I think solar panels or wind turbines are great. I just think that most of the reported figures are technically correct but chosen to give a misleadingly positive impression of the gains.

I feel like both new cars and phones have been overhyped for a while now.

Ai is simultaneously over and under hyped depending on context.

I think the phone industry is trying very hard to look interesting but it's been a while since anybody cared? Or is it really just me?
