I think it's fair to say AI meme since there definitely is a meme component to it, but at the same time I think it's worth pointing out it's also not nearly entirely useless either like Web3.0/Blockchain/etc essentially was. There are a lot of cool and new things that are possible with "AI" that just weren't possible before, there is some utility to it. It is impressive to me and for context I'm a senior developer, so I don't necessarily get impressed as super easily as a layperson might.
