Oh, there is definitely a lot of hype involved with AIs!  :)
Just look at the billions of funding being thrown at it.
But people and companies are finding good uses for AI, even at the
present state of development. Companies are replacing people jobs with
AIs. ¬ (Not always successfully, of course, but they will learn from
their mistakes).
