      It was “Blockchain” in 2017. “NFT” in 2020. “AI” in 2023. In a few years, there will be a new buzzword that companies throw a bunch of money at in hopes of being on the leading edge of the ‘next big thing.’

        While I appreciate the sentiment I think the key difference here is that ML is actually helping people do their work either better or more easily. While Blockchain and NFTs mostly amounted to autofellatio. Meaning those technologies are only helpful if you are interested in using those technologies. Whereas ML has clearly been helpful for all kinds of professions not just Brogrammers

          I’m not sure if AR has already had it’s big spike yet or not. It already basically exists, just isn’t as good or useful as VR yet. As it gets better we may see it become a buzzword again, but AR/VR has already kinda had it’s big time and is becoming more and more mainstream.
