Surprised it took this long! In my last job in academia, people started trying to turn their ho-hum ideas into gold by attaching "deep learning" or related terms around the same time other people started doing the same thing with "blockchain." Some people had great ideas and some of them turned out to be useful. But it was painfully obvious to everybody but the person talking when they were trying to obfuscate mediocrity with fancy words.

Maybe they were there all along and people just stopped ignoring them? Maybe it's all of the hucksters whose absurd coin schemes dried up or never panned out looking for a new hook?
