AI is pulled out every couple decades and over-hyped. It never matches the hype, then the term AI gets a bad rap, goes away, and the useful stuff gets a new name, like machine learning to shake off the bad connotations of AI. We saw this in the 60's 80', early oughts, and now today. I remember in college during the late 90's the hype was that CASE tools (Computer Aided Software Engineering) was going to make software engineers irrelevant, you just tell the system your requirements and it spits out working code. Never turned out. Today, the only way the amount of investment returns a profit if it replaces a whole bunch of workers. If it replaces a whole bunch of workers, well there will be a whole lot less people to buy stuff. So either the bubble bursts or a lot of people lose their job. Either way we are in for a rough ride.
