Perhaps my idea is that machine learning and AI is now a way to sell snake oil, specially when you try to give recipes and avoid the foundation. Today computer programs can do many task as for example predictions using models which require little o no tuning, so the user just press a button or write two or three lines of code. Someone can think that he is at the cutting edge of research pressing those buttons, perhaps that naive feeling is what I was fighting again.

Even if it feels like pushing buttons doesn't mean it's not cutting edge because that's your feeling, not the feeling of every one else. Maybe tech has reached a settled so far and the next plateau is not reached yet. Also, AI is not the only area where progress can be made. Management of complex (complete?) systems is also an area of interest. As for strong AI, I have a the feeling that those system will be much like sysadmin work of today.
