What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now? (lemmy.world)

It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

Quantum computing? The hype isn't so bad lately and I'm somewhat optimistic but it's worth a mention.

I feel like it's hyped just enough. It does have the potential to revolutionize computing but we have no practical applications for it at the current point in its development. There's only so much you can hype something that can't even act as a simple calculator better than a handheld calculator can.

it has the potential to revolutionize some optimization problems that are hard to solve classically. It's going to be practically useless for the average user.
