I think the AI hype was a little overblown, a lot of things by people not understanding the field or just out right wrong. Don't get me wrong, AI will come and it will do most of what people are talking about, if not all and more, but there have been a lot of unrealistic time frames thrown about. Look at self driving cars, I'm pretty sure ten years ago people were talking about it being a huge thing and being almost here and here we are in 2023 and it feels like there is far less buzz around it now and any system in public use seems highly problematic and limited, despite many more years of development. It's the same in the AI world, although it keeps ticking away, one of the first breakthroughs that got public attention was image generation and in particular midjourney and they have been adding more cool stuff lately, it's all continuing at pace but some people have unrealistic expectations. People saw ChatGPT and suddenly that was AI for them and it was everywhere and then ChatGPT/ GPT 4 came along and since that was only a few months afterwards, everyone is expecting GPT 5 soon, which I believe OpenAI have said hasn't even started training yet. The reality is that there was a bigger gap between GPT 3 and GPT 4 then people realised as it was less public and potentially the gaps will get bigger as it needs more training/development as it's harder as the low hanging fruit has already been picked. There is also a bunch of tech floating around at companies that don't know what to do with it yet, facebook for example have the audio generation thing they don't want to release to the public as they said it was too 'dangerious'
