Nobody used blockchain besides scam artists and money laundering schemes. VR was a super niche toy and was not shoved into anything. 3D was... Okay you have a point with that one, but AI can actually be pretty useful where it's actually useful.

Most people now use chat gpt to some extent voluntarily, without it being shoehorned into an otherwise unrelated product. My mom told me how she was using it to help her rewrite her resume just the other day. I agree that there's a fad of it being forced into everything that doesn't need it, but i think it's here to stay.

Also, agree to disagree on it having an "incredibly higher possibility of misuse". It's just a tool to let people do things they want to do, whether their intentions are good or not.
