Not to mention that, since you did robotics in the 90s, there might just be another point where the entire field of AI falls off a cliff, again.

On the one hand, I'm inclined to think not. Having said that, I do wonder if the rapid improvements (and sometimes impressive results) in certain narrow domains are misleading a lot of people to assume that all that's needed is continued incremental improvement.
As a case in point, while voice recognition has indeed gotten quite good with the right kind of microphones (e.g. Amazon Echo), the natural language processing and other "smarts" to use that as a basis for even a subpar by human admin standards digital assistant seems to still be reasonably far away. And that doesn't even require interfacing with the physical world.
