It almost works, but not quite. The sellers of the tech think it will eventually work, and that may be true but they are burning a a lot of goodwill and potential customers on the way. Some AI tech will survive, but it will be rebranded and just the stuff that proves actually useful or productivity enhancing.

This is exactly what happened with the three previous (or was it four?) waves of AI.
It was oversold. People got very cynical. Quiet rebranding behind the scenes let it continue life in the niches where it was appropriate.
