Considering we're two years in and everyone's still... talking about chatbots pretty much. Yea, I'd say that's a hell of a gamble.
Of course the hardware can probably be repurposed towards crypto mining afterwards, so hey!
The chatbot focus may be a news/accessibility bias. Take a look at deepmind's research blog to see applications in more areas.
There's definitely some cool stuff coming out of it!
Is it going to be as world upending as some folk were making it out to be? I'm not sold on that yet.
