other people's comments on AI and its usefulness, hype cycle

It's not just me. There are a lot of random comments like that on the web. An example:
I'm not against AI, I just think that it's way overhyped and overmarketed, like everything. VR was also supposed to be "almost ready to explode in popularity and capabilities" in 2016. Or AR. Crappy Pokemon Go "AR" game regarded as a sign of things to come in the coming years. Not really. It is all always at least a decade in the future.
Virgin Galactic was supposed to take (commercially) people into space (meaning at least 100 km above Earth) for $200 000 for 45 minutes in 2007. It is 2024 and they are still not doing it. It will probably take 20-25 years longer than they expected and falsely advertised. Very usual thing to happen. It can be seen and experienced over and over and over again, every year, every decade.
