> AI winter is not "on its way". There is AI hype and anti-AI hype, and then there is actual practice. This article is anti-AI hype, just as bad as its opposite. In practice there are tons of useful applications. I don't think the article was saying that AI isn't useful, but just that deep learning specifically is not an AI panacea, and that the current hype around AI is on its way out. The hype dying down and the associated buzzwords starting to repel money instead of attract it is all that's meant by AI winter, I believe, not that we'll run out of places where the techniques would be useful.
