Tbf, ML and the cloud are wildly successful and arguably very useful.

We’ve basically solved image recognition with ML techniques (including deep learning ones, which are now called AI, I think)

The cloud’s popularity and successfulness is self-evident if you follow the web space at all.

Neither of those were “just” trends. I think AI will follow in line with them. Obviously something useful that we will make extensive use of, but with limitations which will become clear in time. (Likely the same limitations we ran into with big data and ml. Not enough quality data and the effort of curating that data may not be worth it)
