Is the AI hype train slowing?

I hope everyone is back and refreshed from the summer break!

The question for this session is:
Is the AI hype train slowing?

• Users are reporting that tool performance is inconsistent, tailing off, or degrading.
• The pace of 'wow' moments has slowed.
• Companies are taking a more conservative approach to AI projects.
• Robotic innovations are taking some of the spotlight.

Is it just that we have adjusted to the initial disruption, and our standards have changed? Have the numerous public chatbot failures dissuaded companies from forging ahead?

Let's share our experiences and provide an answer to the clickbaity question 😉
