I'd guess HN is negative towards hype in general. "AI" is very much full of hype.
What happened with previous AI hypes, the term AI was abandoned and the techniques and disciplines were "rebranded".
Probably will happen again. When something works and we start to understand how and when it works (and especially when it doesn't) it stops being "AI" and becomes something more boring.
