I'll believe it when I see code written for it solving a real problem
I bet they're going to use it for AI.
The question stands.
I took a course on quantum computing in university. It's a really neat technology and it can absolutely do things inconceivable by classical computing, but classical computers still do most stuff way better. In a rational world these chips would be developed and then used for their niche purposes, but I'm definitely concerned that this will be another technology indiscriminately shoved in our faces to try to capitalize on a bubble.
Until you see companies selling liquid nitrogen generators, you're not going to have to worry about anyone pushing quantum chips on the average consumer.
Although presumably there are companies that do sell liquid nitrogen generators
the problem they will eventually solve is how to spy you better and feed you more AI crap
