The first 3 have and did result as of today in trillions in dollars of economic activity. And have changed societies, politics, political participation, access to knowledge etc worldwide for good and bad. So I don't get why you are so dismissive of them.
AI is definitively here to stay forever.
It's not a hype, it's 100% here for the long-term.
The hype may be specific to some companies for now, but AI is deeply going to change many industries, especially due to open-source, specialized chips to allow running in local, and new hardware (I strongly hope a clone of H100 A80G comes quickly).
The next step is to add limbs to the LLMs.
Then we get Tesla bot who is going to help you with daily chores, and to execute tasks in a factory.
The bot can ask its own internal knowledge base to know what action to execute next, and because the model can output JSON, the action commands can be sent to motors for in-real-life execution.

You mean it isn't overhyped, hype is just what expectations people have it is underhyped or overhyped that says how those expectations related to reality.
Pretty sure we're quite a ways off that stuff yet, especially for consumers. But sure, maybe something like that will be reality in the coming decades.
