I saw an advert on the side of a truck the other day for an AI enhanced mattress, of all things!

10 years ago everything was "smart" now it's "AI".

Goddamn marketing people.

You forgot the phase immediately preceding AI: 3d prints.

I mean, in this decade, I've heard of car and airplanes being marketed as having 3d printed parts.

Cars and airplanes do have 3D printed parts. They're much more common in the prototyping phase, but they are used in production and are making their way to space.

I completely agree with your general sentiment though. Any time a new piece of technology shows promise there are a ton of people who will loudly proclame that it will completely replace in while turning a blind eye to things like scaling and/or practical limitations.
