A new winter is never coming, the last few years have shown the potential of machine learning and its use is only going to increase

Machine learning has taken huge leaps but the expectations for it are getting blown out of proportion. The use is going to increase for sure but there are many weaknesses in the technology that tend to be overlooked.

E.g. autonomous driving already proved too hard a task for ML for the foreseeable future. Also "hallucination" is a problem with no clear solution in sight.

Has it? Seems like Waymo is still making good progress. They became generally available in SF recently IIRC.

I've seen hints of this in the past month or so: people who were acting like true general AI happened a year ago now just talking about it as "word generators".

Gemini felt like the tipping point where the flaws became obvious, which they then started noticing in the others.

Considering the amount of carbon being pumped out to power all this, you may be right.
