What will be the next fad once the VC dummies figure out that chat bots aren't very useful? (hexbear.net)

Just over the last few years it went virtual reality, blockchain and crypto crap, and now chatbots.

What will the next fad be? I'd like to know so I can convince one of these VC ghouls that they should give me money for vaporware.

Honestly I hate leasing but it makes sense for this. Just have several tiers of "needs most performance" to "dentists office" and lease down, as the tier above outgrows the last best thing, the tier below considers it an upgrade. This hardware has way more life than people realize. The leasing company can even handle some on-prem maintenance.

I expect this to happen right after local datacenters, but before those datacenters start hosting VPS offerings.
