I'm off the main hubs, SF, London, NYC, but here, in my gamma level city people talk a bit about AI but I have yet to see applications that are not vaporware. Don't get me wrong, I love ML challenges, but the real world seems to have so many other little things to solve first, before we can finally realize our ai dreams.

Things like Alexa or Google Translate already very much exist, use modern AI techniques, and are not vaporware. That's why so many corporate research labs - basically all the FAAMG companies - do AI work.
