Every so often the IT industry gets something new that will "OMG change everything". We already had Java, Scala, Python, Agile, Pentium IV with its unlimited GHz, raytracing and dozens of other overhyped things. And what? Nothing. In the end all the old things are still there, and the new hyped stuff either falls into obscurity or just becomes another ordinary tool among thousands we already have. So no, nothing will change.

TLDR: I will believe it when it happens. Until then I'm back to programming in 51 years old C programming language.

I wish I could upvote this a million times.

Edit: u/r488191 is correct though. You both are. If you spend the money you already have it won't affect inflation as the amount of money in circulation stays constant. But if you print (like u/r488191 pointed out) or borrow (like you pointed out), the supply of money grows and so does inflation.
