While real AI hasn't really happened yet, Machine Learning has definitely made a big impact with lots of potentials. I think we are still in the middle of the S Surve in ML.

And AI is like.... Fusion? We are always another 50 years away.

I think AI always means "does something a human can do that you wouldn't expect a machine to be able to do". So it is forever moving goal post. It just moves ahead in step with people's expectations of what a machine can do. Also magic is always disappointing when you know how it works. We just have the psychological safety of not knowing how we work, whereas in ML we always know what it is doing, and it is always kind of disappointing.
