Anecdotal: I've noticed a lot of talk about ML/AI at my place of work is very hand wavey and talked about by business analysts who don't know what they're talking about. My friends at other places of work see this too.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a large-scale loss of faith in AI simply because too many people tried to half-assedly leverage "using AI" for a promotion.
