Funny that the top three threads are about how the author misses the real benefit of GraphQL and proceed to assert three different benefits. Perhaps its varied applications is one to consider :-)

This is where I see the Semantic Web, semantic interoperability, and ontology alignment spaces coming to life. Who needs to standardize data when you can stick an AI in the middle of two services to do the translation for you? And then suddenly the interoperability of the metaverse doesn't seem so insurmountable. I made a post last summer that speculated on this, but I didn't think this future was so near. Or even possible really.
