Same thing happened with 5G, claiming that categorically new stuff would be possible with 5G that just couldn't be done at all with LTE. IoT and VR were buzzwords thrown around as simply demanding 5G and utterly impossible without it.
Then 5G came and it was welcome, but much more mundane. IoT applications are generally so light that even today such devices only bother to ship with LTE hardware. VR didn't catch on that hard, but to the extent it has, 5G doesn't matter, no cellular modems and Internet speed is too slow to support anything directly even with 5G.
Same is happening in pretty much every technology with AI right now, claiming that AI absolutely requires whatever the hell it is they want to push. Trying to lean hard on AI FOMO to push their tech.
