Good answer, and some good points.

My analogy is not perfect, but I think there are parralels. People are currently trying to shoe-horn AI into things where it's never going to work well, and that's resulting in a lot of stupid and a lot of justifiable anger towards it.

But alongside that, it is also finding genuinely useful places, and it is not going to go away. Give it a few more years and it'll settle down into something we rely on daily. Just as we did with electronic calculators. The internet. Smartphones. Everything since the Spinning Jenny has had a huge pressure against it because it's new and different and people are scared it'll negatively affect them, but things change and new things get adopted into the everyday. Personally I find it exciting to be alive during such a time of genuine invention and improvement.
