Your only point is the same point people with no idea of how things work have been making since forever. "It's just a fad". This was claimed about cars, about the internet, about computers, about videogames... Literally anyone who's out of touch with reality and resents their lack of creativity or ability to think of a use for a groundbreaking technology positions themselves this way. It's not new, and maybe it's sometimes worth debating, but not when you follow it up with something like this:
