What will be the next fad once the VC dummies figure out that chat bots aren't very useful? (hexbear.net)

Just over the last few years it went virtual reality, blockchain and crypto crap, and now chatbots.

What will the next fad be? I'd like to know so I can convince one of these VC ghouls that they should give me money for vaporware.

Even with the downsides, that is describing something which actually works. That disqualifies you from VC funding.

I mean, the chat bots work great for programming, github copilot was great. Cryptocurrency was honestly the best way to buy drugs for a while. Most things VC are into have a small narrow space they are actually good for, but then they get used for business and finance and it all goes to shit... Just like anything captured to be used for business and finance.
