AI can be overblown and it can also be magical.

This was true for state of the art in 2010: https://xkcd.com/1425/ today you have a free phone app that does both. Of course it also classifies a spoon as a large breasted robin which is why you need a human in the loop. It's even truer in programming.

That xkcd actually claims the opposite: "some things that many people assume to be trivial CS problems actually require advancements in AI"
