Reminds me of the Lighthill Report: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthill_report

The full text exists somewhere online, but I can't find it on my phone.

Edit: summary to save you the click: "Published in 1973, it was compiled by Lighthill for the British Science Research Council as an evaluation of the academic research in the field of artificial intelligence. The report gave a very pessimistic prognosis for many core aspects of research in this field, stating that "In no part of the field have the discoveries made so far produced the major impact that was then promised"."
