There is a phenomenon referred to as 'AI winter' going back to when Minsky 
and Papert pointed out a perceptron couldn't handle XOR. I played with 
neural nets in the '80s when back propagation improved them. However they 
were overhyped and couldn't deliver given the hardware of the day. 'Expert 
systems' was the next sweetheart of the press. nn's got such a bad rep it 
was sort of career suicide to mention them. When they were reborn 'machine 
learning' was a name to disguise them.

Anyway over the years AI blooms in the spring with extravagant promises, 
stumbles in the summer, and then goes into a long, hard winter of 
hibernation.
