Do you think that is a good reason to be snarky?

The title of the OP's post wasn't "I need a way to make some quick extra cash". Most people I know work on side projects more for learning and career development. I gave an answer based on that prior belief.

Sometimes, hype exists because things are genuinely cool. I feel this is the case for VR and smart tools. On the other hand, I'd be inclined to agree with you about chat bots, for instance.
