So, the consumer tech industry relies on hyping up technologies and blanket applying them EVERYWHERE in order to get investor funds. That's literally the reason why. There's investor money in AI and there's also money to be made by lying to people and having them pay for AI-based services.

The answer, as always, is capitalism.

When we're off this AI hype train, keep an eye out for what the "next big thing" is according to techbros and examine it very critically.
