It's been interesting to watch the shifting attitude toward artificial intelligence and its capabilities over the last couple of years. The hope and fear that AI would be able to do anything humans do, and thus make us irrelevant in most domains that don't require having a body, seems to have faded in favor of nervous ridicule: Computers won't take over the world if they can't even learn not to recommend Incubus to me on Spotify (to use a recent personal example).
