The hype will die down fairly quickly. But this technology is obviously a huge deal. We've found a practical algorithm to turn more powerful hardware into better results. And hardware was still ramping up at an astonishing rate last time I checked.
It seems more likely that we'll surpass the hype than not in the next few decades. I think people have forgotten how quickly technology can move after the last 20 years of relative stability where more powerful hardware didn't really change what a computer can do.
