Unfortunately a lot of tech hypes make sense, maybe even most of them. Some bring new concepts, some are radical new approaches, and even a boring hype is at least some evolutionary progress ...or good marketing. I guess some hypes lead into a dead end, but you have to be pretty clever to see that coming.

I try to restrict myself to look at hypes only in my fields of expertise, but some hypes like GPT-3 are too interesting to be ignored.
