SMRTR summary

The AI industry faces a credibility crisis due to an excess of promoters over genuine producers. Academia produces papers with eye-catching titles but dubious content, while industry research often remains secretive. This creates an echo chamber of misinformation, with AI cheerleaders exaggerating capabilities to non-experts. The hype-reality gap risks triggering another "AI winter," which could ultimately benefit the field by eliminating opportunists and allowing serious developers to advance the technology.
