I suppose that demonstrates a third possibility, that the bubble will burst and the hype train will end. I'm personally more bullish on its usefulness than that, but again, I guess we'll see.

I too doubt it will pop the way crypto did. The difference being, if you ignore the weird financing and ya know, societal collapse from AI, it's doing something useful!

But it sure felt like every HN story for a bit was crypto/blockchain/NFT related.
