They were talking a lot about AI when I first studied computers... IN 1978!!! It didn't amount to much more than a curiosity then and 30 years later, I am still skeptical.

There is far too little intelligent thinking going on now. Look at what has happened to our physical conditions because we have developed so many machines do perform work for us. If AI is developed much more we could be in the same poor shape with our brains.
