It happened to VR a few years ago. The development slowed down when companies realized the sales. Unlike VR, AI is not a physical good that users/customers can purchase and test directly. It is just a buzzword. Companies will use it to death at every opportunity to market themselves. This is unstoppable. We will hear more about it, maybe until people get sick of hearing "another crappy ai product".

AI is more of a datacenter technology. People already use it (siri,alexa,google search) and they apparently like it already. It was easy to see that any VR headset is bulky and agonizing, but those new services work fine. Sure, however the "not hot dog" apps are going to be disappointing
