Yep. There's a grave risk that funding to AI research ends up being slashed just as badly as in the last AI winter, if people start thinking that Google has eaten AI researchers' lunch with its networks and there's no point in trying anything else.

Incidentally, Google would be the first to pay the price of that, since they rely on a steady stream of PhDs to do the real research for them but now I'm just being mean. The point is, we overhype the goose that lays the golden eggs, we run out of eggs.
