Are the only two options AI doubter and AI believer?

Perhaps I should have elaborated more but what I mean is I used to think, "I genuinely don't see the point in even trying to use AI for things I'm trying to solve". Ironically though, I think that because I've repeatedly tried and tested AI and it falls flat on its face over and over. However, this article makes me more hopeful that AI actually could be getting smarter.

All I hear about are AI believers and AI-doubters-just-turned-believers
