<ul>
<li><strong>The AI Winter (1980s)</strong>: An initial surge in AI development was followed by a decline due to over-promises and under-delivery.</li>
<li><strong>AI Winter (2015-2017)</strong>: A second AI winter occurred, with many AI startups folding due to unmet expectations.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>The AI Hype Cycle</strong></h2>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle" title="The AI hype cycle">The AI hype cycle</a> is a predictable pattern of over-excitement followed by disappointment.</p>
<h2><strong>The Reality</strong></h2>
