Eh, your entire comment was dismissive about the "technologies", and not unlike countless similar reactions about the topic. So any serious points you wanted to make were easy to miss within the sarcasm.
I do agree with your point that valid use cases don't need to rely on hype, but at the same time, the technology that powers it doesn't need to be invisible to users. Some amount of marketing around it shouldn't be an issue. The thing is that we've been flooded with it for the past decade+, and the critical thinking public has become desensitized to the bullshit. But this doesn't mean that underneath that there is zero legitimate value, as some people vocally claim.
