It is where the future is headed. Companies either hop on the bandwagon or get left behind.

    They said that about Virtual Reality in 2014.

    I'm still regretting how left behind I am, personally, by Virtual Reality. /s

    Edit: Although, honestly, my Gameboy 3DS still absolutely rocks. It was worth the hype, and still is, today.

    I already use AI for a lot of stuff including my job. Still waiting vr and crypto to change the world :|

    They're not the same

    I couldn't find any kind of history of tech bubbles that wasn't pro-bubble. Going backwards: "AI", VR, Blockchain/Crypto, ..., Dot Com bubble? I feel like there have to be more examples in there that I'm missing.

    The dotcom bubble is a good example of a bubble that's different from VR and crypto.

    Massive investments, lots of dumb projects, the underlying tech (the web) still finds widespread use and past the bubble, the dotcom projects that survived are still a massive industry

    People think bubbles necessarily collapse to zero because that's what web3 did. It just means the market is inflated

    Most of the times they have some value under the hype
