This happens whenever something hits the peak of the Gartner Hype Cycle. The same thing happened in the social network era (one could even say that the beloved Google Plus was just this for Google), the same thing happened in the mobile app era (Twitter was all about sending messages using SMS lol), and of course it happened during Blockchain as well. The question is whether durable product offerings emerge or whether these products are the throwaway me-too horseless carriages of the AI era.

Meta is a behemoth. Google Plus, a footnote. The goal is to be Meta here and not Google Plus.
