We taking bets on the next rebrand name?
AI
Since there is still nothing actually worth calling "metaverse" as the sci-fi concept it was promised to be, they might go for something around AGI.
Oh great, because billionaires shitting on Tolkien wasn't enough.
I'm going to guess they'll keep it and justify it as "metadata". Like the metadata of it's users that it sells

It was "Meta", but now they're going all-in on AI, so they'll probably want to go "MetAI" except that it's lame and so are all the other various portmanteaus, so they'll pivot to something inexplicable and wild like "Everything" or "AllAI"

It’s like tattooing your new girlfriend’s name on your ass.
More like tattooing that name on your face.
More like tattooing her ass on your face, and everyone in the bar nodding and saying "Been there, won't be going back."
