What an utterly bizarre comparison.

Even the block chain comparison isn't valid because it didn't consist of an "AI" button getting crammed into every single product and website, turned into a popover etc.

There are nuances to the examples.

For example, I'm not a big fan of blockchain. In fact, I think crypto is just 99% scam.

But big data led to machine learning and LLMS right? Cloud led to cheaper software with faster deploy times right? In fact, cloud also means many browser based apps replacing old Windows apps.

None of these were fads. They are still tremendously useful today.
