The entire tech sector is addicted to these hype bubbles. Previously they were for actually new things, things like the Internet, portable computers, the first smart phones, the first touch-screen smart phones, etc. Now we just get smaller and smaller iterations on previous products, and the marketing for these companies has no language for incremental, basic improvements so instead we're sold a phone that's 15% faster like it's the second coming of Christ, and for some reason, people keep falling for it.
I've predicted already the AI hype train will crash into the wall of reality in more or less the same way the crypto one did, and then the grifters will move on to the next thing they can over-hype.
