This time the hype is founded - Deep (Reinforcement) Learning truly pushed many AI domains out of uncanny valley. Image recognition/generation, speech recognition and synthesis, shallower language understanding - we truly have tech we have never seen before and only dreamed about. Of course, it won't solve everything, but the "solved level" got a massive upgrade with recent advancements. If we get GPUs that can compute DNNs 1000x faster, then we will see magic everywhere around us; so far the good models take very long to train, making them less adaptable to changing conditions.
