Everything is eventually called a dead end in AI, no? Once it has moved from the bleeding edge to something the public uses, the limitations become known and everyone says, "of course a computer can do it, but that's not intelligence."
That's because we aren't building systems capable of self-analysis and awareness. As far as I'm aware, there are only AI/ML systems capable of analyzing some data and giving some output with little to no nuance
no, the OP says it in a different sense, namely that even if you are duly impressed by these advancements, they will stop in a few years and a new line of research will be needed
