I think they'll be on this for a while, since unlike NFTs this is actually useful tech. (Though not in every field yet, certainly.)

There are going to be some sub-fads related to GPUs and AI that the tech industry will jump on next. All this is speculation:

Floating point operations will be replaced by highly-quantized integer math, which is much faster and more efficient, and almost as accurate. There will be some buzzword like "quantization" that will be thrown out to the general public. Recall "blast processing" for the Sega. It will be the downfall of NVIDIA, and for a few months the reduced power consumption will cause AI companies to clamor over being green.
(The marketing of) personal AI assistants (to help with everyday tasks, rather than just queries and media generation) will become huge; this scenario predicts 2026 or so.
You can bet that tech will find ways to deprive us of ownership over our devices and software; hard drives will get smaller to force users to use the cloud more. (This will have another buzzword.)
