This is GPT summer, just accept it. It will be easier. A year ago it was crypto summer. Before that it was "microservices is a bad idea" summer. Before that it was "microservices is a good idea" summer. And before that it was "everything is JQuery" summer. And before that... and before that...

It will get better. Then a new buzzword comes forward.

Somehow it feels different this time, the other technologies you mentioned were more niche and you could avoid talking about them. GPT is more pervasive. My Instagram feed was not full of microservices influencers at the time...
It's what happens when there are more people on the business of talking than doing

I'm waiting for new courses and ebook on how to become a gpt expert.

I’ve seen several of each advertised. (Well, “Generative AI” if not specifically “GPT” on the tin.)
I saw a course on GPT yesterday lol it has already started
I think GPT is still some ways off being as pervasive as blockchain nonsense was at its worst. Peak GPT Hype probably hasn't even arrived; celebrities aren't even being paid to sell you LLMs yet!
I disagree, it's not the same level of hype. My mom is talking about GPT whilst she had no opinion about microservices or jQuery.
