i have excellent news for you! we’re approaching what will probably be called the Third AI winter, which refers to periods when ai funding dries up after people realize the limitations of the current generation. the last two were around 1975 and 2000. if you expect to live 30 more years then you will probably see the Fourth AI Spring!
but to be clear, the height of AI technology by the end of the last AI winter in 2000 was, like, voice transcription software, and at the end of the first one in 1975 all they had was perceptrons (basic handwriting recognition)
TBH I don’t think we ever left the first AI Winter. The fundamental issues with their models and our models are virtually the same, we just made it wrong faster.

This is definitely marketing driven.
