Siri, What Time Is It in London?

Exactly. And what about if I initially DO specify it's London Ontario that I'm interested in but five minutes later I ask again, referring to it simply as "London".. shouldn't a "better Siri" come back with 'assuming you still mean London Ontario, it's...' ?

I think it's possible that general acceptance of these non-AI gimmicks being referred to as "AI" will end up pushing genuine progress in true AI further into the future.

Agreed. These solutions seems gimmicky. AI as it is today is really a chain of "if"s. I think aside from some amazing results in niche areas, so much of the attention to ML in general (and DL in particular) is just due to marketing. It's a bubble in many cases, but since everyone is doing it, companies decide to do it as well.
