It's called a hype cycle. Early adopters don't look for praise during a hype, they have already normalised (or sometimes exploited) the technology so it's no big deal. But if I meet an early adopter who won't stop saying, "I saw that first, blah, blah..." I know they just got lucky with a guess rather than properly immersing themselves in a subject.

I compare it to skill acquisition. Learning to tie shoelaces is hard. Then it's so easy to do that those who haven't learned yet get mocked.

Learning to ride a bike is hard. Riding a bike is dead easy.

Checkers was simple, BUT Chess? Never! Chess was harder than checkers but not all that hard. Go is a totally different class of game which AI will never master...
