Hope they save because "AI" won't be hot past 2020.

I will make sure to revisit this comment in 2020.
AI won't disappear definitely. However, more graduates will enter market as we move forward. Thus there will be more supply than demand which leads to drop in salaries.

This has happened in many markets in recent years. Don't you recall big data hype around 2007? You would be considered as God if you can barely install Hadoop back then.

Competent big data folks still pull down $300-400k fairly easily. I’m talking about people who _really_ understand the field and have a track record, not “graduates with a degree”.
What makes you think that? Media? What are you including under the umbrella of AI? ML, Deep Learning? Are you in the industry?
What industry?
AI
I sell AI robots and its bullshit
Ah, different use case then as opposed to using AI or ML for drug discovery.

I agree, robots are hit and miss

You mean because it'll take all our jobs, including programming AI? ;)
Au contraire, my friend, it’s only in the beginning of an upward hockey stick.
