To me, that's the exact parallel that comes to mind for the current hype around web3/ crypto/ etc etc. IBM's hype campaign from the early-to-mid 2010's, on Watson, Internet of Things, Machine Learning, Cloud, and whatever other buzzwords were thrown into that PR carpet bombing campaign that was everywhere. I still don't know what any of those technologies do, and whether or not they're implemented in anything I'm using. But it sure sounded important and potentially revolutionary at the time!
