It feels like every few months there’s a new tech “revolution” being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

      It wasn’t a very long initial question (only a few sentences), but you somehow missed the only qualifier to the whole thing, “…Besides AI,” within that short intro.

        It is kind of misleading to leave it out of the title and hide it in the middle of the post. “Besides AI” could’ve easily fit in the post title.

            There’s an entire sub-sector based on that cop-out defence. You’ve … heard of clickbait, right?

            The post title was an entire thought in the form of a question. It invited people to come and share their opinions.

            Not to mention that in many clients, the title is presented first before the post body. So someone could come up with their answer after reading everything initially presented to them about this post.

            Also, skimming is a useful thing that people do, lol
