  FWIW… Tech fads used to be pretty limited to tech circles. You would be bombarded for a few months by content about this or that on HN and elsewhere without ever hearing about it on the subway or at a dinner. Crypto kind of crossed the line at some point, but it is still a niche thing. ChatGPT and that whole ML-marketed-as-AI thing, on the other hand… it is everywhere.

  "Get rich quick" schemes are somewhat attractive to the masses but nothing seems to beat those new "don't do the work you are paid for" schemes.

  Yes. Next question.
