I thought there would be more of a backlash / winter onset when people realize that Alexa is so annoying to deal with (and you basically have to learn a set of commands) because AI isn't that clever yet. Also, when people realize that autocorrect took a dive for making edits when Google started putting a neural net in charge. (No! Stop deleting random words and squishing spaces during edits).
In other words I figured it would be the annoyances at what "should be easy by now" that would get Joe CEO to start thinking "Hm. Maybe this isn't such a good investment." When measurements are made and reliable algorithmic results attract and keep more users than narrowly trained kind of finicky AIs.
I don't want there to be an AI winter, and it won't be as bad as before. There are a lot of applications for limited scope image recognition, and other tasks that we couldn't do before. Unfortunately,I do agree with the post that winter is on its way.
