The chatbots are being used as cover to lay off a bunch of workers, and will further shittify the service sector, but I'm slowly becoming convinced that it will fizzle out soon once its clear it won't be what they have convinced themselves it is.
VR and crypto are still around, but neither are the groundbreaking "world will be fundamentally changed forever" technologies they were convinced of at the time.
i don't think these are going away soon so i wouldn't consider it 'fizzled', maybe it'll lose hype but i don't think it's going to be a comparable debacle to 'metaverse' bullshit
