Every negative headline I see about AI hitting a wall or being over-hyped makes me think of the early 2000's with that new thing the 'internet' (yes, I know the internet is a lot older than that). There is little doubt in my mind that ten years from now nearly every aspect of life will be deeply connected to AI just like the internet took over everything in the late 90's and early 2000's and is now deeply connected to everything now. I'd even hazard to say that AI could be more impactful.

AI was overhyped in the 1950s with the perceptron. Machine learning advances in fits and starts. As soon as it looks like it’s out of steam something novel comes out. Circa 2010 all the effort was on perfecting SVMs to the point where 1% point improvement on a computer vision task was a PhD thesis and the like then all of a sudden AlexNet made neural nets look feasible and the game changed overnight.
