We're not in a tech bubble, but it does look like the industry is trying to fake their way into one. You can't trust ChatGPT et al to answer questions in a way that won't end in a lawsuit, and you can't make quantum computers do hardly anything. Yet. But the industry pretends this is all very worthwhile, even if in the end, technical mirages abound and we don't actually know if these things are useful. I do want these to succeed, but we're so far away from them actually doing so that the ultra hype seems way too premature. Any bubble around them now is a mirage that very well might evaporate. The tech industry gets excited every few years. They're just a lot louder now than usual about it, because they desperately need to keep their shareholders happy. Remember how exciting iPads were? Does anyone care now? Nobody talks about them anymore. They are still trying to make gigantic immersive 3D googles a thing, but the screen door effect, and motion sickness are probably not going to be solved any time soon. (Although I will defer to the mixed reality ones that at least keep your brain and your physical location reasonably intact.) That can easily happen with the effort going into this over-promotion of late. They're trying to make any amount of money before the big crash.
