Where you see exponential growth in capability and value, I see the early stages of logarithmic growth.

A similar thing played out a bit with IoT and voice controlled systems like Alexa. They've got their places, but nobody needs or wants the Amazon Dash buttons, or for Alexa to do your shopping for you.

Setting an alarm or adding a note to a list is fine, remote monitoring is fine, but when it comes to things that really matter like spending money autonomously, it completely falls flat.

Long story short, I see a fad that will fall into the background of what people actually do, rather than becoming the medium that they do it by.
