The "winter" analogy (I remember the AAAI when marvin made that comment) was to the so-called "nuclear winter" that was widely discussed at the time: a devestating pullback. It did indeed come to pass. I don't see that any time soon.
I think the rather breathless posts (which I also remember from the 80s and apparently used to be common in the 60s when computers just appeared) will die down as the limits of the LLMs become more widely understood, and they become ubiquitous where they make sense.
