The argument is that Metaverse, as presented by its billionaire promoters as a paradigm shift, even though the public hated that vision, was a flop, therefore AI as presented by its billionaire promoters as a paradigm shift will be a flop, because the public hates that vision.

That’s fine but it’s about perception, argument and sentiment. It’s not about the actual technology, which has the final say.

Market has the final say, not tech. If no one uses/buys the tech, as investor or customer... it won't feed anyone.

Sure, but the market is often bamboozled in the short term. Hence crypto stocks and Super Bowl ads about nfts. The “market” was 100% wrong about the long term value of the tech.

My point was that what a bunch of people say about tech is forgotten over time and the actual value of the tech emerges. You want to describe that in market valuation terms, fine.
