This so much. To say nothing of the fact there is a risk of another AI winter when NN/ML continues to not produce (the promised) results.
I won't be surprised when AI toothbrushes come out.
It's odd how under-appreciated this is. There is no "intelligence" here as we know it, not even a hint. There are algorithms operating on data for very prescribed use cases. When you break it down its pretty primitive stuff really. Clever sure, but don't think we're building a mind here, that language just confuses things. So much of the public conversation around this stuff is polluted with this sort of sci fi nonsense claiming all sorts of properties for AI and implying some sort of singularity is around the corner. Pure fantasy.
Reminds me when X-rays first were discovered, everyone claimed their product contained them, including X-ray headache tablets, golf balls, stove polish, razor blades. https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.1148/rg.242035157 for some fun pictures. I won't be surprised when AI toothbrushes come out.

I think it’s producing plenty, but it will never live up to the hype of singularity-enabling Asimov-style superior super-intelligences that are being promised regularly to be just around the corner.
We're at least 30 years away from that though, if not 100. Immortality tech, may be easier to accomplish.
