I feel like it's hyped just enough. It does have the potential to revolutionize computing but we have no practical applications for it at the current point in its development. There's only so much you can hype something that can't even act as a simple calculator better than a handheld calculator can.
it has the potential to revolutionize some optimization problems that are hard to solve classically. It's going to be practically useless for the average user.
I'd to say that the quality of the hype is completely out of whack. People are expecting the current generation of generative neural networks to do things that they really can't.
The ammount of total excitement is probably actually too low if you group GNNs with AGI, though.
